what's your thoughts on the colour?

[@diydarkmatter]

well it might just be me and the one fella there but a classic high gloss black is hard to beat . if you have lots of chrome it will make it even better .

[@christianjustin7]

Pearl white

[@robertcrowley6573]

Graphite metalic... like the Volvo

[@For4Reel]

A modern electric blue from the amgs

[@m4ttsbook]

Did the painter say Graffite grey… I’m with him 👌🩶

[@EdDavenport-i1h]

We have a local here in Utah who has a darker grey color that looks fantastic

[@espenreissmathiesen8580]

I would go old Mercedes white - bone white I think it is called. Good luck, from Stavanger Norway.

[@steveminshew]

That Avocado green that they used on the Pagoda top models

[@robwarmy5184]

Mallard.Green, BR Green.

[@jengina11]

Personally, I like an old English white with mid blue trim and blue plaid inserts ! Lynx knock off wheels would be nice.

[@kuldippanesar590]

Gr8 videos...olive green is good period colour for the car with ox blood or baseball glove interior would pop

[@davidsharrock5704]

I would paint it Mazda Soul Red Crystal. Love your videos and all your hard work on the Gullwing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@suecobandito8954]

Mercedes Silver, of course. Cheers, mates from N. Fl., USA.

[@molibdimum]

Silver would be the obvious choice but then it would be just another Gullwing and given its not an original car I would avoid that. I love the colour you painted the Audi but I would go for some sort of light champagne colour.

[@philtucker1224]

My daughter used to own a bmw 3 series sport, it was pale metallic green with matching window tint and matching leather upholstery. Very very tasteful..

[@keithmason5584]

Sea mist green the really light / silver metallic , I think it was a Mercedes’ colour and chestnut interior 👍 DB274 green , very rare in the full wing

[@6MISFITZ]

All vehicles (4) in my garage and driveway are red, my first choice. Being a Mercedes, Black or Silver could be a secondary agreeable compromise. Amazing workmanship!

[@KirkVSSpock]

Yellow !

[@philtucker1224]

If you’ve already gone this far towards perfection then you may as well finish it with the correct shade of silver and make it a tribute to our dear Stirling Moss. 🙏

[@Six4691]

Black in the rear silver in the front, silver over black fade! Also black interior w/silver accents.

[@RustyWrecks]

I would go the same colour as the volvo like a dark to mid metallic grey

[@Bigpawes2]

Hi guys Just check a couple of the corners on the boot and front lip on bonnet re gaps some small distortions on camera but looking good

[@kevinmakelane123]

Silver, a classic James Bond look

Nice dark blue!

[@mirvincloete9759]

Lime and white

[@yosalut9790]

Hey, I just found your channel a few days ago and i just finished every episodes today, I really love how you are presenting the project, by showing us every steps of the process. And if the gullwing was mine, I would probably paint it orange with the chromes a bit darker than normal to give it some contrast (grill and bumper) Keep up with the good work !

[@andirt4]

Welcome aboard!

[@philtucker1224]

[@stephensmith2983]

Mercury grey metallic

[@Davyfb75]

Silver is the only colour possible for this car

[@shenpensenge]

I would paint the Mercedes in GOLD METALLIC, but actually the color doesn't matter as long as there is some kind of paint on it.

[@simonb2044]

Porsche do a great dark blue.

[@jean-paulciantar5518]

Baby blue with navy leather

[@bsimpson6204]

[@billsheehy1660]

A Modern British Racing Green for me

[@tonyhale7403]

Metallic Burgundy works for me. But it's your car so good luck trying to please everybody.

[@leondmcgrath]

if it was mine it would go black but recon a nice candy metallic would be great with the shape

[@tomswindler64]

Nice,British racing green.nice video 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@Collateralcoffee]

Problem is that the 300SL will look stupid in every weird color. We all know what the classics were like, and if you paint it something else than beige, silver, red or black, it will look silly.

[@PaulOlder-r5d]

Silver green

[@stancefraternity2641]

Colour of the Holden Efijy almost like a royal burgundy metallic.

[@FlyByCable]

Anthracite metallic

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

It has to be silver. Anything else would be Eddie Izard in a frock.

[@huwjones4673]

has to be silver!!

[@petroldiaries6769]

I remember before he said it won’t be another silver with red leather gullwing so silver is probably vetoed

[@AllThingsMercedesBenz]

No way silver, this car has more class than the tick the box silver with red.... combo....

[@simonh8894]

Satin White to make the chrome stand out

[@GregsGarage]

charcoal mica. Dark enough to look elegant, but not BLACK!

[@phatlaz1974]

Mercedes red the one on the AMG GT

[@sofiadisalvo728]

BMW M1 1978-81 Orange

[@AllThingsMercedesBenz]

Well, well, well, my first thought's are to be totally out there, one of one hand built everything retro, so I'm with a mustard/yellow with dark grey leather seats and carpet, white steering wheel brushed chrome and polished dashboard or pearlescent white with the same interior... how many more weeks do we think we have until she's finished??? Are you keeping the old SLK switch gear aircon all that stuff or will you be trying to replicate the old style interior???

[@andirt4]

Some good suggestions. Replicating the old style dash but keeping the aircon hidden behind the dash. Not sure on the timeframe as want to get it right

[@AllThingsMercedesBenz]

Cheers Andy, in house paint job or do you have someone lined up, and what time scale are you setting aside for paint work, and who's car paint are you using? if I may ask... @@andirt4

[@keithedwards2e0xsz56]

Candy Apple Red

[@Carlos.G]

1980’s Mercedes gold

[@dukemasters6829]

A period factory colour as all the ones that are not period colour just don’t look right

[@ianstoys13mgs]

Has to be inkeeping with age a look of the car, so no yellow or orange . I surgest Aston martin Tungsten Silver

[@philtucker1224]

Please don’t trim the seats until after choosing the final car colour! They really need to compliment!!

[@jesperhansen8777]

[@andirt4]

Oh your cruel 🤣

[@hdmike883]

It remains being a replica and shouldn‘t try looking like a 100% copy, hence any other color other than on an original 300SL would be OK. However my favourite color is Range Rover ‚Aintree Green Metallic‘.

[@llessibm]

Old English White

[@ConfusedSoul24]

Bmw marrakesh brown

[@stefanochies2835]

ORIGINAL COLORS....SILVER; Horizon Blue; BLACK; WHITE ALPIN; BLAUGRAU; RED;

[@kingearl2596]

Silver is not good, because it's 08/15 like for BMW 3 or other wanker's choice. Red would be fine, even a smart green metallic or a dark shiny colour like the Volvo 9 series in your shop has.

[@ALKUKES]

Black
