I like this colour
Looks like Malachite to me
There are generally two shades of each colour. For Blue-Black, 199, there are six shades! The shade makes a big difference - that's quite a green-looking Malachite (if it is Malachite). Some of them are quite pale & dusty
Having the whole car in one colour makes a big difference. I had a Malachite E280 recently that looked different to normal and I'd had it a week before I realised the kit was body colour and not contrasting

Looks like red is winning the day....
Yes, i will do the grille, badges, trims in satin black. With the grille, the surround and garnish mouldings will be stain black but insert color coded.

Just noticed the single windscreen washer-jet on the Red AMG in Talbir's pic.
Damn, that's early!

I have a 190e sitting in the drive at my house with a garage full of 190e parts from a donor car i stripped this thread is jus making me want to do something with it, I can get hold of a full Cossie kit including interior for jus £250. I'll see how Talbir's turns out then i might just have a go myself.
(sound of a jaw hitting the floor)
You're forgiven though, because that Smoke Silver SEC widebody is gorgeous.

One thing I will say about 199 BlauSchwarz (I like it, btw);
You have to keep it absolutely f***ing spotless, or else it just looks like a scruffy dark grey.
It has less depth than you think, especially once the paint begins to mar.
This is a concours example, displayed at Brooklands for most of last summer.
