1997 Mercedes-Benz All Models Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

Use the paint code from the Mercedes-Benz All Models label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

For the Mercedes-Benz All Models, start with the make-specific code guidance: 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. If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Mercedes-Benz All Models. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

For Mercedes-Benz All Models repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
