PAINTING My AMG GT Black Series! Transformation to Solarbeam

- Join me to see my AMG GT Black Series being painted and changing colour to Solarbeam! Since dropping it off for the respray, most of the parts have already transformed, but now we can see the stages on the main body for the triple layer colour.
I always intended to order my AMG GT Black Series in the distinct AMG Solarbeam that had been the launch colour for the C63 Black Series and SLS Black Series, however when the order books opened for the GT BS it was no longer an option. In the UK we could only choose from 8 standard colours (10 in some regions) and now available one-off options made publicly available; only for select VIP/AMG ONE customers. Not only that, but AMG recently took Solarbeam off the options list for all other models so no option to order it directly this way.
As such, I brought the car to Chartwell; who did the repairs to my McLaren Senna 2 years ago, and last year resprayed my SLS Black Series into Mystic Blue. It's a lengthy process to do everything correctly, but having last visited it and seen the car dismantled, this time around a large chunk of the body panels have already been painted. However, this gave a perfect opportunity to see the main body itself go through the process and change colour to yellow.
We've also managed to solve the V8 badges question, having wondered about changing the red outlines to a gloss black to better match the car. Now all that's going to be left is sourcing the new parts needed (badges and one-time use brackets/seals) and then everything being reassembled, so hopefully 3 weeks or so before it can go to Topaz for PPF.

It's yellow and it's looking incredible! How cool is it to see the main body of my AMG GT Black Series as it transforms and is painted Solarbeam?! I cannot wait until this is all back together and we'll be able to see the finished result, it's going to be stunning!
I love your videos
Happy birthday
😎
Looking very brilliant 👌
Paint it PINJ
Let’s give proper credit to this guy in the paint booth. No pressure amiright?!?!?! What an absolute next-level professional.
I remember how excited he was when he got his AMG GT wrapped yellow. Now, at last, he gets the Black Series PAINTED in yellow for real.
Awesome journey!
Absolutely awesome
I remember the wrap well! It was the precursor to what we're seeing now for sure
But it looked so good in black😩😩
@@mariusilerd9581 his car his choice his personality on the car
Maybe you know why he didn't buy a car in this color?
I really can’t wait to see the finished result. It’s surely going to be the most unique GT Black Series in the world… congratulations!
You obviously have not seen what's coming. There are some insane colors that are in production.
@@saharatransport3245 There isn't any special program for the AMG black series he is right this is going to be the most special one
@@johnrexg1834 yea apart from the P one livery the AMG One owners
Shmee manages to make a video of (almost) watching paint dry engaging and interesting. The enthusiasm for the process is lots of fun. Looking forward to the finished product on the road!
Yes Chartwell, amazing place and better than OEM finished. These guys repaired a BMW of mine. Outstanding service.
Wow this is going to look amazing, the various panels already look so nice 🔥
I think so too!
Congratulations on your vision for this car Tim, and Congratulations to Chartwell team 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Tim, I want to thank you for your videos.
Myself and my family are in a really shit situation recently with health etc...
We all love to sit there and watch your videos (the Shmeuseum vids too), but you really are a release for us all!!!
My Mum has a huge operation on Weds, and you really do help me & Dad to relax. Thank you pal. Much love
The Colour is looking amazing. Loved watching the process as well. Can’t wait to see the final product. Happy birthday Tim 🎂🎉
18:21 It would be cool to paint those red badge underlays Mystic blue, along with the brake calipers, just for fun. lol
I will say the level of detail Chartwell goes through to make it look like a factory paint is quite impressive. I see why they are the authorized repair center for the big names and their high end models. Looking forward to seeing it fully polished and out in the sun!
Would look cool with exposed carbon on the louvers on the wings against the solar beam 😎
Leaving the carbon exposed on the vents on the front wings may have been a cool look? The same way its exposed on the bonnet
Happy Belated Birthday Tim!! 🎂🍰🎉🎊
I am in love with your videos ever since the early car spotting days and wish you with a blessed and prosperous future (and many more cars to come!!!!)
Thank you so much for the support, it's appreciated
@@Shmee150 Thanks so much Tim it really means A lot☺️☺️☺️
You will always be my favourite ytber.
Also a happy 34th Birthday again.
I absolutely loved seeing the process of painting and wasnt actually expecting to see as much as we did, but definitely very, very glad we got to. Sooo excited to see the end result and see that solarbeam in the sun!
That Solarbeam-carbon contrast is gorgeous 😍
Tim, the vision, speccing and planning you have for not only each car but for your whole collection is second to none.
Nice painting. Beautiful colour
Wow it looks sooooo good can't wait to see the whole car done
Likewise!
This looks absolutely UNREAL. This is a perfect colour for the car, and the colour-coded hatch will look considerably better.
The car Gt Black series is going to phenomenal once completed, thanks to you and Chartwell for taking us through the process. Also Happy Birthday Tim.
Heck yeah 🤘🏼 This car was meant to be this very color. Congrats on, once again, having the nerve to pull off something like this, Tim. It’s looking absolutely stellar! 🌟
That's awesome. Thanks for showing some of the process. The new colour is so much better. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Now that is bloody stunning. The boys living the dream!
Happy birthday, Tim! I hope you've had an amazing day and an amazing celebration! Here's to many more videos and cars and track days, cheers! ✨
Looking great! This is very exciting. I love the access you have! Cheers on the respray!
Looking sooooo fresh! I really enjoy watching the whole process. Thank you for this. Can't wait to see the finish product 🙌
The paint Job is great... but that taping job is out of this world
Whoever parked the white 570 in the background of the intro broke the cardinal rule and left the front lift up😭😂
Awesome to see these videos. Thank you Tim for taking us alongside through the process.
Love it, so crazy to see the car pulled apart like that, can't wait to see the process completed
Literally 2 of my favorite cars....and the Solar Beam Yellow is EPIC!...Never did I think you were making the wrong decision and the proof is in the result...can't wait to see it in motion, fellow car guys...the adventures continue...💛
Love this. I painted cars 15 years ago and the technology now is incredible. The whole time it was being sprayed I was a little concerned with the shade, but the color turned out fantastic! Can’t wait to see it finished.
Happy birthday Tim! May God bless you with many more!
Thanks so much
@@Shmee150 happy birthday
Wonderful insight to the paint process at Chartwell - thanks for filming for all to see.
That’s why you are on a totally different level, you put your cars the way you like and you drive them as they were supposed to be driven 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 this one will look amazing 🤩
Looks amazing really needs those chrome bits on the handles gloss black to match it up with everything else 👍
The stealth spec was really nice but the Solarbeam just looks amazing!
Wow! that looks stunning, this is exciting, can't wait to see it on the road.
Happy Birthday! and congrats on the beautiful colored AMG GT Black Series!
This will look awesome! Really like that you paint the back all yellow. But will the chrome on the doorhandle be the only chromw on the car? Thinking maybe some carbon or black vinyl would fit on that?
We've got a solution for that coming, do not fear
Absolutely in love with this transformation! What a stunner!
Just wait until it's finished!
@@Shmee150 cannot wait… that color is amazing
Looks incredible!, very skillful job!
It looks amazing, congrats! It’s gonna be epic when it’s finally all back together.
Can't wait to see it done
thats a really badass paint gun and booth!
Since the color change on the SLS AMG, i know that this will be a game changer😉. For me this is the perfect yellow for this car!well done Tim.
I dont why i am watching this whole process ..but I absolutely love this ..! Think i like watching things i couldn’t afford..!
This video was so satisfying to watch!
Happy birthday Tim. Since yesterday we know what you spend your time with on the plane - with the dice! Was very impressive!
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Shmee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks incredible Tim, absolutely loving it
Looks so cool!
I was worried you were making a mistake at first but now I’m a believer! It’s gonna look sick. Love that yellow.
Happy birthday Tim! The GT black series is looking super clean with the solar beam yellow. 🔥👏👏
Looking absolutely lovely 👌🏻
This colour is so cool! Can't wait to see the car finished ! Big thumbs up for this video! Drive safe Tim !
24:56: Those AMG seats are actually Recaro Pole Position seats branded for AMG, and I think they are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. I installed them in my Porsche Cayman S, and I have done over 80k miles-including several multi-thousand mile road trips, and my butt never even ached, much less hurt, after many hours at the wheel. As Shmee150 pointed out, seats are a very personal thing-a seat comfortable for one may not be for another-but for me, they are the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in. And, as a bonus, they come in FIA certified race spec too (with Velour fabric instead of leather because velour is fire resistant), so I have them installed in my race cars too.
Happy Birthday Shmee!
Many happy returns. CHEERS !!!
Wow! The progress is incredible
Really cool
Happy Birthday Shmee🍻 God bless!
Great choice on the colour!
These guys are brilliant! I had no doubt after the excellent job they did with the SLS.
Im so glad youre brave enough to do this. AWESOME!
Can't wait to see it finished
Ikr!! Everyone is scared to touch the paint work because of the value😭
@@staney7831 understandably so too, the balls on this guy
Awesome video Tim, appreciate it, thanks for sharing it…
Great video, very descriptive and informative.
My first thought was: how can he??? But after seeing the result i have to say right decision…looks awesome! Congrats!
Amazing content, this is the kind of thing I can only dream about (BEAUTIFUL)😍
It looks soo good! Great choice
Thank you very much
#Shquad......hi Tim, this new colour looking absolutely stunning, many congratulations buddy 👊😎😎😎😎😎
Hey, thanks!
Absolutely awesome video Tim. You couldn't have chosen a better color for this car. I can't wait to see it.!
Looks soooo good already!! Best wishes
Looks awesome ❤
This workshop is immaculate... that is very satisfying to see! Absolutely love the detail of changing the red background part of the logo to black! Very smart indeed!
Looking great! Although personally I would have had the louvres on the front fenders left in carbon to tie in with the bonnet
Solarbeam looks so great! Hope to see the finished car soon! 🔥🔥 😍 😍
This is going to come out amazing, I am surprised you didn't go with some carbon peaking out at the fenders. Looks amazing regardless, I cannot wait to see the finished product!
Such a cool video!
Looking good bro. Great paint shop 👍👍
That's what I really love about u shmee u just aren't like other car supercar owners who collect them to appreciate in value rather u just do what u love and drive it to the fullest ... Can't wait to see the finished product 😍 already in love with that solarbeam yellow
Awesome!!!!
17:40 That is just beautiful mate. Cheers.
Amazing episode!
Great choice and excellent content as always 👍
If you think the road presence was epic in the Graphite Grey Magno, it's going to be off the damn charts in Solarbeam! A great colour choice for sure. I can't wait to see the finished result.
Now that's a guy who's job is very valuable.
Great work on the paint! Your audio is also sounding great! 🔉
That car will look amazing when ist done Shmee Congrats of owning just a amazing Mercedes
Thank you
This will look stunning!!
Fantastic, thanks!
Looking EPIC Tim!
Thank you for showing us the paint process, going to look epic.
Even without the panels the car looks so cool !! 💪💪
It’s fascinating to see the car dismantled like that, thanks for showing the process and not just the end result.
So far it looks amazing. Excited for the final result.
The attention to detail, time, quality and care that goes into this is crazy!
Wow, beautiful, superfluous, gorgeous paint, lovely job,,,
Wow! Sensational!!
Wow they do incredible work! Great color choice!
Incredible tim!
What a car!
Looks really nice, great idea will make it look a very unique GT Black Series. Was nice to see process. Pearl stuff in paint is always mental.
