EXTERIOR PAINT...

[TUT]

Hola, I´m from Quito-Ecuador-South America. I have a 280S from the 80´s. I need to know the exact color of my car, because the last owner re-painted it with a more dark beige. Thnaks any help.

Mmmmm. How do we answer this one guys ? TUT, there is a plate on the right side of the hood latch on the radiator support panel. On it, there will be a number that ends in either a G or an H. It will be XXX G (or H). Tell us what the number is and we can answer it for you.

Thanks guys, I will include some photos of my car, well it´s not in a proper condition, but I´m trying to rebuild it part by part. Saludos desde la "Mitad el Mundo". Gracias.

Hi.

As soon as you get the colour number you can get some photos related to your original colour at this URL...

http://www.meinbenz.de/farben/116/farbcodes116.htm

It contains all the colour codes used on our 116.

By the way... you said it is a 280S... a carburated one ?? or a SE ( inyection one ) ??

Regards... ( and Saludos from Madrid  )

PD: hmmmm.... dark beige...  may be some ByzanzGold variation ?
