Mercedes-Benz EQE Touch Up Paint (36 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't hold back with the EQE, recording a massive 36 colors. While they've given us plenty of the classic "CEO-in-a-suit" shades like Selenite Gray and Obsidian Black, they also let their hair down with some unexpected gems. Whether your driveway is currently hosting the earthy Sonora Brown, the deep Smaragd Green, or the stunning Spectral Blue, it's clear the designers wanted this EV to stand out in the parking lot. They really went for it-even if half the catalog looks like different moods of a thunderstorm.

What to Watch For

First, let's find your "secret handshake." You'll usually find your three-digit paint code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Once you've got your paint in hand, keep an eye on that front bumper. Some EQE owners have noted that the factory finish can be a bit sensitive around the edges; if you let a rock chip sit too long, the paint around it can start to get ideas about "bubbling" or lifting. You might also notice a bit of "orange peel" texture in the reflection of your doors-don't panic, that's just a characteristic of the modern factory spray process. Your goal isn't to change the texture; it's to seal that chip before the elements get under the skin.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many EQE colors-like Diamond White Tricoat or Sodalite Blue Pearl-rely on heavy metallic and pearl flakes, you need to be the "human paint mixer." Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds (or until your arm is tired, then switch arms) to wake up those sparkles that have settled at the bottom. When applying, think "thin and patient." Use the tip of your applicator to dab a tiny amount of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much better to apply three thin layers that look like a professional job than one giant glob that looks like a grape stuck to your bumper.
