I have tried to find a color code on my car and I could not. The dealership said they could not locate it. I went to the paint store and looked at 1979 Mercedes colors and the only silver they showed was Astral Silver. Is this correct? It certainly looks correct to me but I wasn't sure. Thanks, Paul

Two things you can do:

Run your VIN through http://www.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/index.html?lng=eng

Or call/email the Mercedes Classic Center, give them your VIN, and ask for your data card.

It is Astral Silver, or at least it will be. I compared the color chip to it and it looks good. I will post as I paint. Paul

Paul, check out PPG omni for Astral Silver. I painted my tire smoker 6.9 that color on thanksgiving day. It snowed that day and all I had was a small oil radiator.

The before and after pictures still don't do it justice.

We use that successfully, My w109 6.3 DB904 (5) coats.

The color code for astral silver is 735, look on the option tag right side by radiator on my euro see it there is number 735 or 7350

Got it! Thanks guys and nice car! Paul
