CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1981 Mercedes-Benz C Class, we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The code on your identificaiton sticker will normally have many numbers in it with no prefix identifying a number as a paint code. The paint code will either be three or four digits. Some times the code will have a prefix of DB but this is not consistant. Click here for Mercedes Benz examples.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1981 Mercedes-Benz C Class is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Stephen F, owner of a 1982 Mercedes-Benz from Mountain Rest, SC

My car is a 1982 Mercedes and I wanted to know if the color could be matched by this company so I ordered a small amount with a brush. I did not know if my car had been repainted either so I was thinking if they matched the color the car was not repainted since from what I can tell it is not repainted. The only areas that need painting are the hood, the trunk and the top. My plan is to first find out if this company can match color, THEY can! Most body shops tell me we need to paint whole car since they all say we can never get correct color match. My game plan, if it works out, is to go to them with the paint and say can you paint it with this paint and have the paint in hand! This way they are off the hook and I can spend less and only get painted what I want painted. They want $2,250 for entire car, hope I can get 3 areas for less than half this.

Ed Smith, owner of a 1982 Mercedes-Benz SL Class from Mansfield, Ohio

When the touch up paint arrived for my '82 380SL I was afraid it was not a perfect match. It looked lighter and the car being so old I was afraid I ordered the wrong color but the numbers checked so I proceeded. The result; an absolutely perfect match. Ed Smith Mansfield, Ohio
