jeremyw Elite Veteran Date registered: Apr 2010 Location: Portland, OR Vehicle(s): '03 G500 O'erlanderwagen Posts: 846 | The W460 paint code compilation project So coming from the classic watercooled VW world (I also have a '76 VW Rabbit w/ 58,000 original miles--Rallye Yellow L10A is the color name), there has been info gathered by enthusiasts on everything from exterior paint codes to graphics/pinstripes to interior colors to option packages to original recall notices, etc. Before I try to bite off WAY more than I can chew, I'd first like to start by compiling a historical database of the exterior paint codes offered by Mercedes-Benz on W460's(I have love for the W461's and W463's but I'd like to concentrate on the W460's first.). For example, this compilation of VW Rabbit paint codes is what I am trying to emulate; [url]http://www.mk1vw.info/paint1.php 1980: 5 standard colors(Creamy White and Wheat Yellow look too yellowy and Agave Green looks too black here);
1981: 22 optional metallic colors;
Agate Green DB815
Agave Green DB6880 Anthracite Grey Metallic DB7172
Cypress Green DB876 Magenta Red Metallic DB???(waiting on Hus55)
Sky Blue RAL5015 PPS--A very special thanks to Dutch, Harald, Eddie, Dave, Steve, Tom, Woody, John, etc... Edited by jeremyw 1/10/2011 12:07 AM | ||

Yes, the green Cabrio is of help only if you know the color code and only if a representative of the color isn't already above. Please delete your other posts (besides the Colorado Beige pic above) in order to keep this thread clean. I'm only looking for good quality pics of entire W460's that accurately reflect the G colors in "real life." Thank you. Edited by jeremyw 7/17/2010 1:19 PM | ||

I may tackle W461 and W463 colors at a later point by this current project revolves around W460's only. Thank you!!! | ||
