Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Touch Up Paint (52 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't just give the CLS-Class a paint job; they gave it a wardrobe. We have recorded 52 unique colors for this "four-door coupe," ranging from the sophisticated Black Diamond Metallic to the experimental Chromaflair I Pearl. While it might seem like they offered fifty shades of grey-with Pewter Silver, Palladium Silver, and Selenite Gray making frequent appearances-they definitely "went for it" with deeper tones like Bordeaux Red Metallic and the mystical Mystic Blue. Whether your car is a stealthy Obsidian Black or a glowing Diamond White, the CLS was designed to look like it's moving even when it's parked in your driveway.

What to Watch For

Because the CLS has such a low, aggressive nose, the front bonnet (hood) and "wings" (fenders) are basically magnets for road debris. Keep an eye on those tiny stone chips; if left alone, the clear coat can sometimes decide to start "lifting" or peeling away from the base color around the edges of the chip. You can handle this, but catching it early is the secret. To get started, you'll need your specific code-it's not a guessing game. Open your driver's side door and check the B-pillar (the door jamb) for a sticker. You're looking for a three-digit number (sometimes preceded by a letter that you can ignore). That number is the DNA of your specific shade.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many CLS colors are heavy on the metallics and pearls-like Designo Silver or Mocca Black-your bottle of touch-up paint is basically a snow globe of tiny sparkles. Shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds longer than you think you need to; those metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom, and you need them evenly mixed to get that factory shimmer. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill the chip in one big "blob." Instead, use the tip of your applicator to add a tiny drop, let it dry, and repeat. This layered approach requires a little more patience, but it ensures the paint stays where it belongs and mimics the depth of the original finish perfectly.
