Radiator

Have you looked for a small plate(tag) on top your radiator..Standing in front of your car it should be just off center to your right- Driver's side..It is a 3 diget number usually bottom left..Their was a thread in the last 2 months I think that broke down these numbers and explained what they mean..Jim

Note the 3 digit codes on that plate and reference a website like -

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/5350/mbcodes.htm

This isn't a comprehensive list of options. There's a build sheet somewhere under/behind the back seat that's more complete.

Or post the VIN and have someone check against the EPC.

The paint code is follwed by a letter - usually E or F or G I think. I believe it's the only 3 digit code on the plate that's followed by a letter - sometimes with a space between the numbers and the letter.

G is Glasurit brand of paint. I don't know what the other brands are.
