Restore Your 1978 Mercedes-Benz SL Class Finish In Two Steps

Select Your Mercedes-Benz's Color (Step One)

AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1978 Mercedes-Benz SL Class using a basecoat/clearcoat system just like factory specs. To insure a proper match, you’ll need to know your vehicle’s color code, so you can find it on the chart below. 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 1978 Mercedes-Benz SL 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:

Allen R, owner of a 1978 Mercedes-Benz SL Class from Clearwater, FL

I have used Automotivetouchup spray cans to repair two vehicles and am very pleased with the results. The paint quality and color match can't be beat. The spray pattern and atomization is excellent, giving a very professional finish. I would recommend this product to any serious Do-It-Yourselfer who has good auto body skills and demands perfection.

Ted L, owner of a 1979 Mercedes-Benz from Destin, FL

The paint was perfect color and shipping quick. Great.

Gene T, owner of a 1979 Mercedes-Benz from Sidney, MT
