Oh that's hot. Mercedes lucked out that they already have a history of using a black car, so they can get away with plain carbon. But part silver and part black works really well imo

Edit: hmmm, in this render the black is actually paint. I wonder whether it'll be carbon irl

It'll likely be painted irl, at least on the more prominent parts of the car, but because it's carbon fibre underneath, you can apply a much thinner layer of black paint without it looking terrible

The render makes it all look nice & shiny but it's just an illusion, the black surfaces will be carbon for shure.
