Have you tried contacting either your dealer or Mercedes us? Amazon has several sellers who formulate, but that's not a forgiving color.

Chipex do it, not sure if it is available in the states though?

Their colour match is normally top notch, but I agree it'll be difficult - as are all metallics.

We have a GLC300 in Cardinal Red. I bought touch up for it at my MB Dealer. Easy Peasy. Cardinal Red is the same regardless of which model car it's on.

I don't want to drive to the dealer, they try to make me buy a new car every time I go there..they are very pushy and I almost got in a fight with a salesman last time cause he wouldn't leave me alone after I told him I wasn't interested in a trade.. I just wanted to buy extra floor mats... Anyway. I think I found some under a different red but it's the same paint code.. Does anyone know if paint code 996 Hyacinth Red Metallic is the same as cardinal red metallic?

Look, you can get it on amazon from a dealer. Just be sure you are buying from an MB dealer listing with Amazon. I do it all the time. Many are in Texas and Florida.

Pretty sure Cardinal Red is the what they called here in the US market for the Hyacinth red in the rest of the world but i would check with your dealer just to be sure.
