Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz clearly had a bit of an identity crisis with the CLA-Class-in the best way possible. We've recorded 11 distinct colors for this sleek "four-door coupe," and the palette ranges from "Corporate Boardroom" to "Midnight Rave." You've got the classics like Mountain Gray Metallic and Cosmos Black, but then they really went for it with shades like Northern Lights Violet Metallic and the earthy Cocoa Brown. Whether your car looks like a polished suit or a grape-flavored jellybean, Mercedes made sure you weren't blending into the background.

What to Watch For

The CLA-Class sits closer to the ground than a caffeinated dachshund, which means your front bumper and the leading edge of your hood are essentially magnets for every rogue pebble on the highway. If you own a Jupiter Red model, you might notice some "personality" in the form of micro-bubbles or clear coat peeling-this specific shade has a history of being a bit dramatic. Don't panic; just catch those chips early before the elements get a foothold. To make sure you're ordering the right juice, pop open the driver's door and look at the B-pillar (the door jamb). You're looking for a 3-digit numeric code-sometimes it has a "9" in front of it, like 191 or 787.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most CLA colors are high-end metallics like Universe Blue or Patagonia Red, you need to "wake up" the paint. Those tiny metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-yes, set a timer-to ensure the sparkles are evenly distributed. If you're working with the Magno Polar Silver (matt), remember that less is definitely more. Build your color in very thin, light dabs. If you try to do it all in one thick glob, you'll end up with a shiny spot on your matte finish, and we want to keep that stealthy look intact!
