For fans of the Mercedes C63 Amg Black Series, experiencing this beast in the virtual world of Forza should be exhilarating. However, one dedicated player discovered a surprising visual discrepancy in the game’s representation of this iconic car. Initially, the issue went unnoticed, especially after winning a Horizon Edition model through a wheelspin. It was only when the standard version was taken for a virtual spin that the problem became apparent – a noticeable flaw in the low-quality (LQ) model used for the exterior view.
The issue lies in the missing chrome trim around the windows and some associated black masking on the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series model. Interestingly, this visual defect is only present in the standard in-game driving view. When viewing the car in photo mode or inside the garage, the model appears correctly rendered, showcasing the complete and accurate detailing. This inconsistency prompted a deep dive into the game’s customization options to find a solution.
To rectify this visual inaccuracy of the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series, a creative workaround was devised using the game’s painting and decal systems. The process began by painting the car in chrome, laying the foundation for recreating the missing trim. Next, colored decals were meticulously applied to the body, carefully placed to preserve the areas intended for the window trim. This was followed by the painstaking task of adding small black masking details around the windows, a process that demanded patience and precision through trial and error.
The result of this dedicated effort is a Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series that finally appears visually accurate during gameplay. An interesting observation during this process was the impact of different metallic paint tones on the applied decals. For the yellow car showcased, polished aluminum paint was necessary to achieve a shiny, reflective appearance for the decals, mimicking the real-world chrome. Using semi-gloss or brushed aluminum paints resulted in a less reflective, matte look. This understanding was also applied to correct the Horizon Edition of the C63, where semi-gloss aluminum paint and black decals were used to replicate its original matte black aesthetic.
This meticulous correction demonstrates the dedication of the Forza community to visual accuracy and detail. For players seeking this corrected yellow Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series paint job, it is available by searching for the gamertag “fporto” in the game’s paint search function. Requests for other color variations for the Horizon Edition Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series are welcomed and can be made in the comments, promising further community-driven customizations.
