Your Paint Color Profile

6886 - Mittelgrun

The Look

This color is a sophisticated departure from the sea of grayscale SUVs on the road today. It carries an earthy, heritage-inspired tone that gives your GLE or GLS a rugged yet expensive presence. It avoids the neon brightness of modern sport colors, opting instead for a deep, forest-like depth that looks grounded and mature. Because your Mercedes-Benz is a newer model, the finish is likely still very vibrant, but this specific green is excellent at masking light road dust between washes.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light and create depth. These flakes are the reason the color looks different depending on whether you are standing in the sun or the shade. However, metallics require a steady hand to avoid mottling, which is when the flakes cluster together and create dark streaks or blotches. If the paint is applied unevenly, those metallic particles will settle in "puddles," making the repair look darker than the surrounding panel. Consistency is your best friend here.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or the B-pillar, usually printed on a silver or black sticker. Before you spray or dab Mercedes-Benz Mittelgrun (check for code 6886), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a non-negotiable step because the metallic flakes are heavier than the pigment and will sink to the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right before touching the car. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the particles distribute evenly. Allow plenty of drying time between light coats to prevent the paint from sagging or the color from shifting as it cures.

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.
