OEM Mercedes Designo Magno Selenite Grey Dip on a GMC Hummer EV — DYC Color Match
This GMC Hummer EV got a complete color transformation in OEMatch Mercedes Designo Magno Selenite Grey, applied by West Side Dipz. The factory color match takes a vehicle that's already a head-turner and gives it a refined, sophisticated grey that suits the Hummer's slab panels and modern design language perfectly.
The Color: Mercedes Designo Magno Selenite Grey
Selenite Grey Magno (Mercedes color code 297) is a satin matte grey that reads cool and slightly metallic in direct light, then settles into a deeper graphite tone in shade. It's one of the colors Mercedes uses on AMG GT and S-Class trims, and it works exceptionally well as a non-OEM color choice for builds that want a factory-finish look without going black or white.
The matte finish reduces visual reflections from large panels — which is why it's effective on the Hummer EV's oversized hood and door surfaces. Where a high-gloss color would amplify imperfections in panel alignment, Selenite Grey Magno softens the visual read.
The Build: West Side Dipz
West Side Dipz applied the color via DipYourCar — a peelable application that lets the truck swap colors without committing to a permanent paint job. For builds where flexibility matters (lease vehicles, color-of-the-month customers, project demos), dip remains the cleanest path.
