1989 Cosworth Black Trim Paint Codes

Hi all

I have done some searching but can’t be 100% from what I have found.

We are in the process of painting a DB199 Cosworth and trying to figure out the paint codes for the following:
  • Door handles, strips on front & rear bumpers (should be the same on silver / black & wine cars?)
  • Lower trim / body kit along bottom of doors & skirts

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Would be interesting to find out if cosworth's had the same color codes as the 8V/12V in black. I think their (smoked) silver was different.
Wish I kept my original '89 color code booklet, but I know 355 still has his, maybe he can help with the codes.

- Cheers!

The MB Classic Center in California can help with the paint codes you're looking for. I recently got the paint code for the lower body "Sacco skirts" for my 1991 W201 8v from the MB Classic Center in California.

Since you particular W201 model was a European model and never sold in the U.S., I think your best bet would be to work with the MB Classic Center location in Germany.to get the correct paint code for your particular car.
