Mercedes-Benz All Models Touch Up Paint (270 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't just create a paint catalog; they curated a gallery. With 330 recorded colors, they've covered everything from the ultra-sophisticated Royal Indigo Metallic to the high-energy Firemist Red Metallic. They even leaned into the experimental with finishes like Sodalith Blue (matt) Pearl and an extensive list of Two-Tone combinations that defined an era of luxury. Whether your car is finished in the classic Brilliant Silver Metallic or a more adventurous Mimosa Yellow, it's clear the engineers in Stuttgart really went for it when it came to variety.

What to Watch For

While these finishes are built for the Autobahn, they aren't invincible. Some older models-particularly those in Mars Red (590)-were known for a little "rebellion" where the paint could blister or peel over time. On newer models, the clear coat is often designed to be scratch-resistant (sometimes called Ceramiclear), but that can make it a bit brittle and prone to "stone-chip souvenirs" on the hood and front bumper. To find your exact match, look for a three-digit code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or on a metal plate located on the radiator support bar under the hood.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Mercedes-Benz colors are packed with metallic and pearl flakes, your best friend is a vigorous 60-second shake. You need to wake up those heavy metallic particles so they don't just sit at the bottom of the bottle. If you're dealing with a "matt" (matte) finish, remember that these require extra patience-apply your touch-up in very thin, light layers. For standard metallics, less is always more; dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges rather than painting it on like a fingernail. It's a process of precision, just like the car itself.
