I'm trying to get the paint code for my 1987 300E. I don't know where to look. Any help?

Your paint code should be on the same plate that contains your VIN#; it will be 3-4 digits, like, 0459. If for some reason it's not there, use the site below (MB Club of Russia) to 'de-code' your VIN. Type in your VIN# and select the detailed report option and your paint code along with alot of other info about your car will come up.

There's a metal stamped plate on top of the radiator cover with the paint codes. Also paint scratch lists the MB's numbers and colors http://www.paintscratch.com/

Hello.

My MB is a 1985 380 SE. 4/dr.
I've found the PaintScratch site.
Now, What is the Color/code for the plastic/vinyl which
covers the chrome on the front/rear bumpers ?

Got clues ?
