How to Find Your Mercedes-Benz GLS's Color Code

Mercedes-Benz used to place paint color codes in various locations. Recent models have the code on the driver's door jamb. On older models the code can be hard to find; location and format vary by year or model and may require searching multiple tags. Most codes are three-digit and numeric only. On the color ID tag, the code appears as the fourth group of numbers at the top. Example: 373 corresponds to Atlantic Blue; names typically stay consistent across models.

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't hold back on the GLS, giving us a massive library of 44 recorded colors. While the list leans heavily into what I call the "Executive Suite"-an elegant collection of grays and silvers like Graphite Gray and Selenite Gray Metallic-they definitely "went for it" with some stunners. If you're driving a GLS in Emerald Green or the deep Nautic Blue, you've got one of the best-dressed SUVs on the block. We even see some ultra-rare Two-Tone combinations on the Maybach editions, proving this car is basically a tuxedo on wheels.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need your "Lack" (that's German for paint) code. Open your driver's door and look at the B-pillar (the door jamb). You'll see a black-and-white sticker; your code is usually a three-digit number listed next to "PAINT" or "C/TR."

Regarding the finish, Mercedes uses a high-quality clear coat, but the GLS is a massive target for road debris. Keep a close eye on the leading edge of the hood and the area around the door handles. Owners often report that the paint can be a bit "soft," meaning stone chips can dive deep into the primer fairly easily. If you see a tiny white or gray speck on your hood, that's a chip asking for a hug (and a bit of paint) before the elements get to the metal.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many GLS colors-like Diamond White Tricoat or Obsidian Black Metallic-rely on heavy metallic flakes and pearls for that "liquid" look, your bottle needs a workout. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds to wake up those sparkles; otherwise, the color might look too dark when it dries.

When applying, remember that your GLS is a luxury liner, not a fence post. Don't try to fill a deep chip with one massive blob. Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This patience ensures the paint sits flush with the rest of the panel and keeps those beautiful factory lines looking sharp.
