OK, so after posting heaps of threads and getting heaps of great feedback from all the Benzworld members, I finally decided to paint my new ml 63 Firemist Red.
My dealer who told me it would cost $5000 and a 6 week wait, asked me to find him the 3 digit paint code. Now that I place the order he tells me that he has checked and you can't order special paint for the ML unless it is a left hand drive car.
