Factory two-tone options for the W108 & W109
I am picking up a W108 280SE 4.5 on Saturday that needs the roof repainted. My W111 220SE and my W116 280SE both have two tone paint jobs, and I think it would be cool if my W108 continues the two-tone theme.
I am wondering if someone has a chart showing the factory combinations for the W108 and W109. The Fintail pages have scans showing the original brochures with the factory color combinations, but most of the old W108/W109 pages are gone. Thanks in advance!

Sounds nice! What colors are the body and interior? On two tones the hubcaps were painted to match the roof.

My fintail was originally DB670 or DB608 with a DB186 roof. The car had been repainted several times prior to my ownership, and the last owner painted the roof black with a non-factory beige body. I repainted the hubcaps and upper door frames to match what the factory would have done. Interestingly enough, a black roof on a beige car was not a factory color combo according to the book I have.

Does anyone know if the two tone scheme 050G and 268H exists?
Also, is the A pillar along with the doorframe painted the body color or roof color? Thankyou! cant seem to find how the original two tone was painted |
