Couple of touch up questions

After looking for my answer in search engine for about 5 minutes, I decided to ask it here. Cause the search engine here SUCKS!

I am looking for a touch up paint for my BLACK C43.
There are some silver OEM ones on ebay. I need the black one.

I wonder which web site carrys it (I googled that too, and no clear answer)

Also where would i see the color code on the car? I looked around the doors and saw some numbers, I just do not know which number is what..


Thank you sincerely in advance..

Your paint code is most likely 040.

Look here....

Touch up can be ordered from any dealer, even at discounts (in the back of The Star magazine).
