Your Paint Color Profile

817/1817 - Rose Gold Metallic

The Look

This finish is a departure from the traditional silver and black that dominated the German luxury landscape for decades. Mercedes-Benz introduced this color to lean into a high-tech, lifestyle-oriented aesthetic that mirrors the rose gold tones found in premium electronics and jewelry. On models like the A-Class and GLA, the color feels youthful and energetic. If you drive an EQB or a CLA-Coupe, the paint helps define the car's modern silhouette by playing with light in a unique way. In the shade of your garage, it looks like a sophisticated, warm champagne, but direct sunlight pulls out distinct pink and copper undertones that make the car pop against the pavement.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish that relies on a specific density of flakes to create its signature glow. Metallic paints like this are excellent for daily drivers because the shimmer helps disguise light dust and minor road grime better than a solid color would. The challenge for a DIY repair is the "mottling" effect, where flakes gather in clumps and create dark, uneven patches. This usually happens if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot or if the pigment settles in the container. Maintaining a steady hand and a light touch is the only way to ensure the new paint blends with the factory finish on your door or fender.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for the black identification sticker on the driver's side door pillar; the code is usually listed near the bottom. Before you apply Mercedes-Benz Rose Gold Metallic (code 817/1817) to any chips or scratches, you must shake the container for a full sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes moving. Always test the color on the included card to check the flake distribution before touching the vehicle. When you are ready to work, use thin, delicate layers. Keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and give the area plenty of drying time before deciding if you need a second coat.

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.
