Paint Color Question ??

We're going to repaint my son's '82, 240D from a dull, silver blue to the MB Silver color.

Doesn't anyone have the reference number for that color?

BTW, could the same color be used for the rims as well?

Thanks

Diesel Don

have you ever had a white car? mine gets DURRRRTY>>>i'd advise against that...but it is for your son, so he'll probably be washing it every other day anyway.

Some images are slightly off but at least you get an idea of how they generally look. At least it also gives the years the paint codes were offered! Metallic and non-metallic codes are also listed.
