Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Touch Up Paint (44 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz clearly decided that "standard" wasn't in the vocabulary for the AMG GT, handing us a massive palette of 44 recorded colors. They really went for it here-ranging from the legendary Green Hell Magno (a nod to the Nurburgring) and the electrifying Solarbeam Yellow to what feels like a sophisticated German rainbow of 50 shades of grey, including Selenite Gray Metallic and Graphite Grey. Whether yours is a subtle silver or looks like it was painted with liquid Kryptonite, this car was designed to be noticed, which makes every little stone chip feel like a personal insult.

What to Watch For

Because the AMG GT sits lower than a professional limbo dancer, your main enemies are road debris and "soft" high-gloss clear coats. You'll likely find most of your battle scars on the leading edge of the hood and those wide rear haunches. If you're rocking one of the "Magno" matte finishes, be extra gentle; these paints are famously sensitive to staining since they don't have a traditional shiny shield. To find your specific flavor of paint, open the driver's door and look at the B-pillar (the door jamb). You're looking for a three or four-digit code-it might have a "DB" in front of it, but the numbers are the stars of the show.

Driveway Repair Tip

Mercedes loves their depth, which means many of these colors-especially the "Designo" line and the Kalahari Gold-are packed with heavy metallic flakes and pearls. Before you touch that chip, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. You want to wake up every single one of those tiny sparkles so they don't just sit at the bottom of the jar. When you apply the paint, think "thin layers." If you try to fill a deep chip with one big glob, it'll look like a mountain on your hood. Instead, dab a tiny amount, let it dry, and repeat until it's level. Getting those complex metallics to sit perfectly requires patience, but it's the difference between a "fix" and a "distraction."
