Thank you for the suggestion to check that thread - I will.

Does anyone know what source at Mercedes (is there a shop manual/paint code manual???) that would contain the title/paint reference for that particular part of the car?

I am on a mission to figure out what the exact color was.

Clearly is was more than just a body paint - it was an actual undercoating-type of paint... The color tone is what I am most concerned with so that I do not look too black or battleship-grayish etc.
