Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz wasn't shy when it came to the GLK-Class, recording a total of 24 colors over its run. While they certainly leaned into the "Teutonic Rainbow"-giving us every imaginable variation of silver from Iridium Silver Metallic to Palladium Silver and the deep Steel Gray Metallic-they also had moments of pure flair. If you're rocking the Jade Green Metallic or the bold Mars Red, you've got a rare bird. Whether your GLK is a "50 Shades of Grey" enthusiast or a Barolo Red standout, the factory finish was designed to look like liquid glass.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "DNA" code. On the GLK, check the driver's side door jamb first; you're looking for a black or silver sticker with a three-digit number (sometimes preceded by a '9'). If it's not there, pop the hood and peek at the radiator support bar. Now, for the reality check: the GLK is a handsome, boxy beast. Because of that upright, vertical front end, it acts as a literal magnet for stone chips on the hood and grille. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little "thirsty" (fading or flaking) on the roof or the tops of the door handles, especially if you have a darker shade like Obsidian Black Metallic.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many GLK colors are heavy on the metallic and pearl-looking at you, Diamond White Tricoat and Sand Beige-your biggest job is the "The Great Shake." Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up paint for a solid 60 seconds (time it!) to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think of it like building a sandwich: thin, light layers are your best friend. If you try to fill a deep stone chip with one giant "hero" blob, it'll never sit flush. Dab a tiny bit, let it dry for twenty minutes, and repeat until the chip is filled. It requires patience, but your hood will thank you for it.
