Color Codes
My 108 is about to go in for some paint but i am having a tough time finding the color code for this thing.
Are color codes posted anywhere on the vehicle? i don't have the car in front of me but i vaguely remember checking the stickers on the car i don't remember seeing anything. While looking up 108 color codes i find that there are a number of whites, i'm trying to figure out if i'm a true white or if the paint yellowed a little from the Arizona sun over time. These are some of the links i have been using to try and find the color code. I think i am just the plain ol white (050), seems to have a slight tint to the color. There is ivory white, pastel white, classic white, and then just white W116 colors : Mercedes-Benz S-Class - 280S, 280SE, 280SEL, 300SD, 350SE, 350SEL, 450SE, 450SEL & 450SEL 6.9 Mercedes Farbtabelle - i know it's really hard to tell from pictures but just for the heck of it, interior is cognac, and it definitely has a very mild off white feel to it in person.

Do you have your car's data card? If not, write to MB Classic Center and ask for it. The data card will have your car's color code

Look at the embossed metal plate at the front wall near the radiator. There will be a 3 digit code, then a space and then either a G or H after it. That is the color code for the car. The color code is near the center of the plate. If your car was two tone from the factory then there would be a second color after on the same line after the first code. If the car was a single color then there will be three dashes after the code.
This is a plate for a 600, two tone, 387H (body) and 180G (roof) M-100 Message Board - New m100 to the herd. |

G stands for Glasurit and H stands for Herbert. I think they were the suppliers of the original paint at the factory.
