Boy, reading the decoding of the paint code is a stretch.  They don't make 
it easy do they?  To bad it's not a grey car ;-)

I going to give my '91 300D a re-paint next week - and I need to find the 
paint code.  Where is it and what will it look like?


Part of the data plate on the radiator support?  Look
for a three-digit code with a G after it, maybe.

Hi Jim -
   After reviewing your memoirs I think I may have found the paint code - 
I have a 122 on the radiator support plate and the dataplate info (found at 
http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/view.html according to my notes - I must have 
found that link on the MB list I think) which has 122 also - and 
Paintscratch also shows a 122 Mother of Pearl Metal Gray with 7122 for the 
lower panels.


   Actually I'm not sure what to do with the plastic lower panels.  My 
first thought was to use the same color (122) as the primary color* and ask 
my paint supplier what kind if paint do I need for the plastic - things like 
additives, or even a different kind of paint like a single stage paint, etc. 
Now I'm thinking I need to go with the 7122 as called out in 
Paintscratch.com.   Hopefully, I'll find some more info on the car 
somewhere.  Paintscratch says the number for the secondary color can be hard 
to find (oh really?)


* = that's what it looks like now - the Paintscratch.com color renditions 
show a light gray top and dark gray lower panels.  That's definitely not 
what the car looks like  in person.


   But I still have a little time to think this through - I can do some 
prep work before the weekend - then shoot the primer, sand, mask, etc.


Thanks!  We'll get there!
