Thanks for the detailed explanation, bro! I'm actually driving a W203, and intends to spray my roof to black colour. Needs to give a colour code to my workshop, saw the latest S Class and finds the black quite glossy...

The current S-Class has the non metallic black Paint Code : 040

For metallic black there's a new color Magnetite Black - Paint Code: 183

The older color which is still available on most models including the S Class is Obsidian Black - Paint Code: 197

Thanks, which will look more deep and glossy?

IMHO,

If it's for your roof, then chose the non-metallic black i.e Paint Code : 040

Eh. . Why is non metallic better for roof top? Thought metallic will look nicer?

IMHO, the Obsidian Black & Magnetite Black is not as "black" as the non-metallic black.

The metallic black has "speckles" of "metallic dust" in the paint which looks good on a ride.

For the roof especially for a white car, the non-metallic black will look like a glass roof (pana-roof)

End of the day - It's each his own and the choice is yours!:hand:

My Rp 2 worth!

The main reason for re-spray is some rusting occurring imside the paint. On the edge of the rooftop I can see the paintwork blotting, so have to remove the paint and rust-proof before re-spray.
