What is the color code for the grey body cladding and bumpers?

I think I may have found a way to get my bumpers painted but I was wondering if anyone knew the color code of the grey that is put on all the SDL's. They're all the same color there unless they get to '90 or something around there. Anywyas, just wanted to know what it was or where to find it for my '87 300SDL.

Thanks
David

Is it the same gray as is on the 1987 W124 model? If so, that's Galinat Gray, code 129. I know all the 1987 E-class models used that color for bumpers/trim, but I'm not sure about the S-class models.

If that's not right, try www.paintscratch.com and look at the sample colors they give. It's a very useful site.

Thanks, but I think it's light than my dad's 300E. I'll try that site that you mentioned.

Thanks
David

I found it. The code is DB-5944. It was on paint scratch I just didn't read the top where it says colors with the name "matt" in them are trim colors. They even have the color for the rims, silver metallic G8081.

Thank You Mam
David
