Need help! My paint...
I sent my car to the body shop to repaint my exterior color.
Mine is Malachite green with two-tone color.
I do the search on the internet about the paint code and found my body color is "DB249" and the cladding is "6856".
This is my car before repainted. You'll see that the cladding and bumpers are lighter green.
But after visiting to the shop today, I found this instead.
So I ask the technician about the color, and he insists that he bought me "6856" color for my cladding.
After that I surf the internet again and found...
So now I'm very confused.
The cars in this site below have the same color to me and it said they're 6856.
??????????? Mercedes-Benz ???? - Mercedes-Benz Club of Ukraine ? ???????? ???? - ?????????? W124 E320 American Boy
Did I note the paint code wrong ?
If I want my same old paint, What should I call the code of this cladding paint ?

Auto Paint/Finish Supplier
Your profile doesn't say where you are, but wherever it is, google Auto Paint Supplier or Auto Finish Supplier. You should get names and locations of these businesses local to you that sell PPG, DuPont, or Glasurit auto paints. They have auto paint directories for almost every car/color for the last 50 years or so. They'll be able to look up your car and code and produce a sample chip of the proper color(s) for your car. Good Luck
