Mercedes-Benz GLB Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't hold back with the GLB, offering a palette of 12 colors that range from "sensible boardroom meeting" to "weekend at the vineyard." You've got the classics like Night Black and Mountaingrau (because everything sounds more sophisticated in German), but they really went for it with shades like Rose Gold and Galaxy Blue. Whether your GLB is wearing a stealthy metallic or a flashy tricoat like Patagonierot, it's a car that demands to look sharp.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need your "secret recipe" number. Open the driver's side door and look at the B-pillar (the frame the door latches onto). You'll find a black-and-white sticker; your paint code is a three-digit number, often labeled next to "PAINT" or "C/TR."

In terms of durability, the GLB's paint is generally high-quality, but it has a known appetite for road debris. Keep a close eye on the front bumper and the leading edge of the hood-these areas are magnets for rock chips. You might also notice the clear coat is a little lean around the tight corners of the plastic trim, so if you see a tiny flake starting near a sensor or an edge, catch it early before it decides to go on vacation.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with a metallic or pearl color like Digital White or Iridium Silver, your bottle is full of tiny flakes that love to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to get those sparkles dancing again.

When applying, remember that gravity is not your friend. Instead of trying to fill a deep chip with one big "blob" of paint, use the tip of your applicator to place a tiny dot in the center and let it flow to the edges. It requires patience, but doing two thin layers is the secret to making that chip disappear into the finish rather than looking like a tiny colorful mountain on your hood.
