paint codes.
Thanks to an eastern european truck turning round in a narrow street, i now have a lovely dent in the back corner of my truck. shame really coz not long had loads done to tidy it up! where do i look for a paint color code? went to russian site, put vin no in & got back color 3002, unknown! anyone got any suggestions?
Hi Merv,
Look on your VIN plate. (Attached to blower box on bulkhead)
3rd or 4th row down.
Normally 4 digits.
Hope this helps.

This is common for it to come up unknown but thanks to Harald in the US all is revealed.
Carmine Red is the colour!
I hope that this helps

Thats a bummer Merv, If you load up the EPC I gave you and go to one of the menu's at the top, and look for something called shop materials. Go into cars and then one of the paints sections, it list all Merc Paints with codes and colour names! I'm reciting this without being in front of it, so may not be exactly correct on the procedure but they are there! Regards.
Adrian.
Hi Merv hv found that four digit code on the plate next to vin plate on the air intake box in the engine bay cross refers to the RAL nimbers used by all the parts shops selling "mix while you wait" paint rgds Peter
Go into your EPC and click on the Go to Menu then Applications or press F2, then just click on car and then touch-up pencils or spray cans, it lists all metallic and non-metallic paints codes and colour names, saying that I cant find 3002! :lol:
i think, but am not sure, that a lot of earlier gs were painted in commercial colours and i think you will find that 3xxx is a ral code that corresponds to red....best thing is to try your local paint factors paint swatches against it.
