Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't just play it safe with the GLA-Class; they gave us a palette of 12 recorded colors that range from "sensible German executive" to "I'm having a mid-life crisis and I love it." While we have the standard 50 shades of sophisticated grime like Mountain Gray Metallic and Cosmos Black, they really went for it with the wilder options. If you're rocking Kryptonite Green or the ethereal Northern Lights Violet Metallic, you aren't just driving a crossover-you're driving a statement.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, we need to find your "birth certificate." Open your driver's side door and look at the B-pillar (the frame where the door latches). You're looking for a black or silver sticker with a three-digit number. Once you have that, here's the reality: Mercedes clear coats can be a bit sensitive, especially on the lower plastic trim and front bumper where stone chips like to congregate. If you have Jupiter Red, keep a close eye on the edges of the door handles or the roof-red pigments can sometimes get a little "restless" and show signs of bubbling if they spend too much time in the sun. It's nothing you can't handle, but catch those chips early before they decide to expand.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many GLA colors are complex metallics-like South Seas Blue or Universe Blue-your biggest challenge isn't the color, it's the "pixie dust" inside the bottle. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom and stay there. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: use thin, light layers. If you try to fill a deep chip with one giant "glop" of paint, it'll look like a pimple. Two thin coats will sit flat and look like a factory finish.
