I need to paint the bottom part of the body shell, below the doors, of my W124 260E 1988.

It has "anthracit black, ref 199" paint on the body.

cc260E,

I think if you visit an Auto Paint Distributor, PPG or DuPont, etc.,(check yellow pages for listings) their records/database will have all the paint codes for you, be able to mix up a spray can/touch-up bottle if you're doing it yourself, or recommend one of their shop customers to do it for you.

The cladding on an 88 is just black plastic - wasn't painted from the factory. If yours have been painted it was done by a previous owner. You'll just have to eyeball it for a match.

thank you all,

deanyel, I am the only owner of the car, it is an European car, the paint is original from factory. and it has never been repainted.

I would like to by it from the dealer but there are several choices is the 7700, the right one?

You may have to get the answer in the country of origin.

I have a 260E too (1988) and there is not paint on that parts you showed.
Only bare unpainted balk/grey

I believe the rocker panels are painted the same colour as the inside of the trunk. A paint spray can is available, part number A000 986 11 50 7129. Called 129 galinitgrau seidenglanzend.
