Where to find your paint code
On your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris, the paint code is located on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a black sticker that also contains the VIN, GVWR, and production date. The paint code is a four-digit number, typically following the letters "DB".
Best touch-up paint sources
- Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of colors, but may not have an exact match for every Mercedes color.
- AutomotiveTouchup: A popular online source for exact-match touch-up paint in pens, bottles, and aerosol cans.
- Tcoat custom-mix: Many local auto parts stores can mix custom colors for you if you provide them with your paint code.
- Mercedes-Benz Dealership: Your local dealer can provide you with a factory-matched touch-up paint pen or bottle.
How to use touch-up paint
- Clean: Clean the area to be repaired with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover to ensure proper adhesion.
- Primer: Apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the area. This will help the base coat adhere and prevent rust.
- Base Coat: Apply several thin coats of your color-matched base coat, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
- Clear Coat: Apply a few coats of clear coat to protect the base coat and give it a glossy finish.
Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats
While the 2018 Metris does not have any factory tri-coat or pearl colors, it's important to be aware of them. These colors are more difficult to match and may require professional attention. If you are unsure about the color of your vehicle, it's always best to confirm your paint code with a Mercedes-Benz dealership or a trusted paint supplier using your VIN.
