Mercedes-Benz SLC Roadster Touch Up Paint (26 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mercedes-Benz didn't hold back with the SLC Roadster, recording a total of 26 colors that range from "sensible German executive" to "I'm having a mid-life adventure." While you'll find plenty of sophisticated tones like Obsidian Black Metallic and Selenite Gray, they also leaned into the roadster spirit with head-turners like Solar Yellow and the deep, rich Hyacinth Red. Whether you're driving a classic Iridium Silver or one of the stealthy "matt" finishes like Cerussite Gray Metallic, this car was built to be seen-which makes every little rock chip feel like a personal insult.

What to Watch For

To get started, you'll need your specific three-digit paint code. You can usually find it on a black and white sticker located on the driver's side door jamb (look for the "C/TR" or "PAINT" section). Because the SLC sits so low to the ground, the "roadster rash" is real-expect a cluster of tiny chips on the front bumper and the leading edge of the hood. Also, keep a close eye on the edges of the side mirrors and the moving parts of that folding hardtop; the clear coat in these high-friction areas can sometimes get tired and start to flake if left unprotected.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of the many metallic or pearl colors (like Diamond White Tricoat or Brilliant Blue), the "magic" is in the metallic flakes at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles so they don't all come out in the last drop. For those with the matt (Magno) finishes, remember that less is more. Avoid building a high "dome" of paint, as you want the repair to stay as flat and flush with the surface as possible to match that specialized factory sheen. Patience is your best tool here!
