Restore Your 1983 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 1983 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 1983 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:

Alexander R, owner of a 1982 Mercedes-Benz from Apex, NC

Touch up paint is a good product. Does a great job touching up small chips. Cannot even see where chips were touched up. The touch up paint is slightly darker when larger scratches are touched up. The darker color of the touch up is probably what the color was when the car was new. Keep in mind the car is 23 years old and paint may have faded. Great product and will be ordering more for my other cars.

Paul S, owner of a 1982 Mercedes-Benz from Baltimore, MD

Mercedes-Benz Code 501 "Orient Red" is also known as the more pedestrian "maroon." Regardless, I used the aerosol and it took five light applications to build the color coat over the primer. The results were excellent and the color matches perfectly with the surrounding areas. If I have to do any more body work to my vehicles, I will be sure to come back to Automotivetouchup.com.
