Your Paint Color Profile

5385 - Hellblau

The Look

This color is a breath of fresh air for a brand that often leans heavily into silvers and blacks. On a massive vehicle like the GLS or GLE, it softens the footprint and gives the car a breezy, coastal presence that feels much lighter than its actual curb weight. When you see it on the EQS or the SL-Roadster, the shade takes on a more technical, futuristic edge. It is not a shy color, but it avoids being loud, sitting comfortably in that sweet spot of "noticeable elegance." Since your Mercedes-Benz is likely a newer model from the 2025 or 2026 lineup, the finish will have a crisp, factory depth that you want to preserve as much as possible.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create that signature glow. Metallic colors are notoriously picky; if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch up and create dark, cloudy patches known as mottling. To keep the finish looking uniform across a repair, you have to be mindful of how the paint settles. It is a basecoat and clearcoat system, so do not expect a high shine until the final clear layer is applied. Without that protective top coat, the repair will look flat and won't match the rest of the bodywork.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the driver-side door jamb, usually on a black or silver sticker near the bottom. Before you spray or dab Mercedes-Benz Hellblau (check for code 5385), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the metallic particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card before touching your car to make sure the shade is a perfect match. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in a cool Garage or a spot of Shade to prevent the sun from forcing a fast Drying time, which can ruin the texture. Once the color is dry and even, finish with a clear coat to lock in the metallic sparkle.

ensuring the right match

Find your Mercedes-Benz paint 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.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
