Mercedes-Benz EQS Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Mercedes-Benz didn't just give us a car with the EQS; they gave us a rolling laboratory of luxury with 43 different ways to dress it. While the lineup leans heavily into the executive "50 Shades of Gray" aesthetic-shoutout to Graphite Gray and Selenite Gray Metallic-they definitely found time to let their hair down. Whether you're rocking the deep, sophisticated Velvet Brown Pearl or the punchy Hyacinth Red, the factory really went for it. They even threw in some "Magno" matte finishes for those who like their luxury with a side of "don't you dare touch this with a wax."
What to Watch For
Now, the EQS is shaped like a very expensive piece of high-tech soap, which is great for range, but it means that the front "grille" panel and the hood are basically massive targets for every pebble on the highway. You might notice some "orange peel" texture on the lower panels-that's just the factory finish being a bit moody-but your main enemy is the soft clear coat. It's prone to tiny "spider web" swirls if you look at it too hard, and the door handles can be chip magnets. To find your battle plan (the paint code), open your driver's door and look for a black sticker on the door jamb. You're looking for a three-digit number, like "197" for Obsidian Black or "799" for Diamond White.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these EQS colors are pearls and metallics (like that gorgeous Sodalite Blue Pearl), your touch-up bottle is actually full of tiny metal "flakes" that love to settle at the bottom. Before you even think about touching the car, shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-long after you think you're done, keep shaking to wake up those sparkles. When you apply it, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Think of it like building a sandwich: thin layers are your best friend. A tiny "dot" of paint, a few minutes of patience, and another "dot" will give you a finish that looks factory-fresh without the dreaded "paint blob" look.
