Mercedes-Benz EQB Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Mercedes-Benz didn't just give the EQB a battery; they gave it a wardrobe. With 36 recorded colors, they really went for it. You'll find everything from the futuristic Rose Gold Metallic and the punchy Denim Blue to about fifteen different ways to say "grey," including Mountaingrau Magno and Selenite Gray. Whether your EQB is dressed in the classic Polar White or the deep Cosmos Black, it's clear the designers wanted this electric cruiser to stand out in the parking lot-even if most people just chose a shade of "High-Tech Silver."
What to Watch For
The EQB has a bit of a "cliff" for a nose. Because that front fascia is so upright, it acts like a backstop for every pebble on the highway. Owners often report that the clear coat is a bit on the softer side, meaning those stone chips can show up early and often. If you have the Magno (matte) finish, take extra care: that paint is famously sensitive to pressure and can develop "shiny spots" if you get too aggressive. You can find your specific paint code on a black and white sticker located on the driver's side door jamb (the B-pillar). It's usually a three-digit number, sometimes followed by a letter.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many EQB colors-like Digital White or Galaxy Blue-rely on heavy metallic flakes or pearl mid-coats, your best friend is a steady hand and a lot of shaking. Shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up those sparkles; otherwise, the "metallic" part stays at the bottom and the "color" part looks flat. When filling a chip, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. If you're working with a Tricoat (like Diamond White), it requires patience-apply the base color first, and only use the pearl top-coat once the base is completely dry to get that factory glow.
