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

Mountain Gray Metallic

The Look

This color is the quintessential choice for the modern Mercedes-Benz compact fleet. It defined the early years of the CLA-Class and GLA-Class, moving the brand away from the conservative silvers of the past and into a more technical, industrial aesthetic. Whether it is on a B-Class or an A-Class, this shade has a certain weight to it that makes the car look expensive even when it is covered in road grime. It is a sophisticated mid-tone that avoids looking like flat primer gray while still feeling modern and sharp.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means your paint is filled with tiny particles that reflect light. The challenge with a metallic like this is avoiding a blotchy or mottled look. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will settle unevenly and create dark patches. You want to aim for thin, light layers to let those flakes sit properly across the surface. Because your car has likely been on the road for several years, the original finish may have shifted slightly from sun exposure, so thin layers are your best friend for a better blend.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Mercedes-Benz Mountain Gray Metallic (check for code 787/7787), locate your paint ID on the driver-side door jamb or the radiator support under the hood. You must shake the container for at least two minutes to ensure the metallic particles are fully suspended in the mixture. Test the color on the included card to check the match against your existing finish. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow through the nozzle or brush. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to build up the color without causing the paint to sag.

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 '787/7787', 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.
