Mercedes-Benz Maybach Touch Up Paint (41 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't just give the Maybach a paint job; they gave it a wardrobe. With 41 recorded colors, they clearly leaned into the "more is more" philosophy. You'll find everything from the boardroom-ready Mocca Black Metallic and Selenite Gray to the "I own the board" vibes of Kalahari Gold Metallic and Nautikblau Pearl. Whether your car is dressed in a classic Obsidian Black or the shimmering Diamond White Tricoat, it's clear the designers wanted to ensure no two private jets in the parking lot had a matching sedan.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "Secret ID." For most Maybach models, your paint code is a three-digit number (like 033 or 197) hiding on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. If it's not there, pop the hood and look at the radiator support bar at the very front of the engine bay.

Now, here is the honest truth: Maybach paint is thick and luxurious, but it's also known for being "soft." This means it's a magnet for tiny stone chips on the hood and leading edges of the mirrors. You might also notice the paint can be a bit sensitive around the door handles. If you see a small chip, don't panic-it's just a sign that you've actually been enjoying the car instead of leaving it in a climate-controlled bubble.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because many Maybach colors-like Designo Cashmere White or Magnetite Black-are packed with high-end pearls and metallics, those tiny flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up those sparkles.

When applying, remember that you are a jeweler, not a house painter. Use the very tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with a Tricoat or a "Magno" matte finish, achieving a perfect match requires patience. Apply one very thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and see how the color sits before adding another. Light layers are always your friend!
