Selenite Grey paint on SL500

[webbypete]

Hi, Anyone know why there is a problem at MB with Selenite Grey paint. I ordered a new SL500 two months ago in Palladium Silver only to be told some time later that the colour had been discontinued and was being replaced by Selenite Grey. So I chose that colour and was advised delivery for September, 2015. Some weeks later I'm told that Selenite Grey is in great demand and my car cannot now be manufactured until year end. My MB garbage don't know why and MB UK have told me that there's a problem with the paint or it's not yet available or there's a large backlog of cars waiting to be painted in Selenite Grey. Anyone know what's going on? Is MB genuinely having a problem with this colour or with supply? I want to spent £80K on a new car and MB can't supply it for at least six months. I wouldn't mind if I hadn't sold my existing SL500 in anticipation of delivery in September but now I probably have to wait until 2016. Thanks, Pete
