Where to find Mercedes-Benz color code

How to Find Your Mercedes-Benz's Color Code

Mercedes-Benz used to place paint color codes in various locations. Recent models have the code on the driver's door jamb. On older models the code can be hard to find; location and format vary by year or model and may require searching multiple tags. Most codes are three-digit and numeric only. On the color ID tag, the code appears as the fourth group of numbers at the top. Example: 373 corresponds to Atlantic Blue; names typically stay consistent across models.

Your Paint Color Profile

Calcite Yellow

The Look

This is the ultimate high-visibility workhorse. Since your Sprinter has likely been on the road for quite some time, you know this color is all about utility and being seen. It is a punchy, unapologetic yellow that defines the modern fleet look. Because it lacks the complexity of a metallic finish, it has a flat, bold presence that holds up well against the sun. While it might show road grime and dust more than a silver or grey, its simplicity is its greatest strength when it comes time to fix a stray rock chip or a parking lot scrape.

Technical Details

Calcite Yellow is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls hidden in the mix. This makes your repair much more forgiving because you do not have to worry about flakes standing up or laying down incorrectly. The challenge with yellow, however, is that the pigment is naturally thin. If you are covering a dark scratch or a grey primer, you will notice that the color takes a bit more effort to hide what is underneath. It is an honest color that provides a very straightforward match, but it requires patience to build up the right depth.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code on the driver's door jamb or sometimes on the radiator support under the hood. Before you spray or dab Mercedes-Benz Calcite Yellow (check for code 243/1243), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure the heavy yellow pigments are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you touch the vehicle. Work in a cool garage or in the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Whether you use a nozzle or a brush, apply thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between them. To get a professional result, keep the container moving and avoid the temptation to cover the damage in one heavy coat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Mercedes-Benz Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Mercedes-Benz's color code is '243/1243', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Mercedes-Benz, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
