Why would DC (or Karmann) use paint from the US? I imagine that it is the same paint they use there in Germany, where the cars were actually painted. If it is an EU thing, then it would not make sense that you cannot get it over there, since Germany is in the EU. I wouldn't be surprised if it were just PPG, even some Benz colors. I have nothing to complain about, mine's black, you can always get black.
