Paint code 040 · solid paint
Black
Black carries Mercedes-Benz factory paint code 040 as a solid paint finish. On a Mercedes-Benz, you'll find the code printed on the vehicle data plate — on most models on the driver-side door pillar or under the hood — as a three-digit code, and on the car's data card. The swatch shown is representative — lighting and screens shift color, and a respray won't change the code the car was born with.
