Paint code for interior of deck lid

Is there a paint code for the interior of a W123 deck lid? All the 123 vehicles I have seen/owned over the years had a dark gray color. It almost looks to be Martin Senour Iron Cast #7250 available in a rattle can.
Thanks in advance. Alan

Here's a picture of mine

I'm in the middle of a repaint. Here's a picture of the underside of my boot lid. The glossy black bits are brushed on POR15 (about to be sanded). Ignore the unevenness and look at the colour - it seems to me to be the same.

Just wondering - no big deal. I will probably paint the trunk myself before I have the car painted (in the next year or so).

You've got me wondering now - I'll ask someone who will probably know

20/03/82 - Across the board switch-over or W123 only?

Would anybody know if the 20 March 1982 switch-over to 7129 applied across the board or only to W123s?

The reason I ask is that I have always thought that both my '85 107 and '86 126 had their trunks etc finished in 7164.

Thanks in advance!

The 20/03/1982 is switch-over point for all models.

And your '85 107 & '86 126 had their trunks finished in 7129.

Many thanks for that info - all too often that which started as a supposition on ones part becomes a certainty over the years...



Cheers!
