Anyone Read Paint Codes??

Can someone tell me what the paint codes are for my 1990 300SE? See attached photos. I want to get some touch up paints for body paint and paint on lower cladding and bumpers, which is darker. I can't tell if this is the champagne or the smoked silver and have no idea what the color is on bumpers? And where is a good place to get touch up paints? Thanks!

On the above link, in the lower half they show the accent/bumper colors, I'd say it's the DB8477 Chinchila Poly, top row far right in that lower section of colors.

Ah..the 702, but what about the bumper color?

What color is it? And what is the code for that one. Thanks for the help!

What I am telling you is to look at the color chart I listed, it is for 1990. Smoke Silver 702 is the paint code. They don't list the trim color on the plate. It may be listed on your warranty sheet, otherwise the parts system should list it (EPC). Or a call to MB should help. But if you look at the sheet I linked you to they show the trim and bumper colors that they used, I believe yours is the "Chinchila Poly", top row far right in the lower section.

According to EPC the lower is Mussel Grey, aka Shell Grey Metallic, number 7176, aka DB176.

What is "EPC"?

I am not familiar with EPC, it kind of looks like the "chinchilla" as it has a kind of dull brownish tone.
