2004 E320 Main Battery & Paint Number

Is changing the main battery a DIY project or best it be done by a parts shop? I like the reviews of AutoZones battery but this cheap A** store in my city doesn't have a memory cord so they can't install it even though they have a battery in stock. I guess I'll end up at Batteries Plus.
Where is the body paint number located? Mine is Metallic Pewter and I have a few tiny marks to touch up. Thanks...

I replace both batteries myself. I found the AGM battery at carquest to be an identical to OEM replacement for fit / desiogn / and capacity for around $200.

The paint code is inside the driver door by the pillar on the tag at the very bottom of the frame. It isn't on the door but the car body. The code is on the tag.

Get to know your car and do the things yourself. Much better than paying someone $100 to do the things that you can do. Its not that difficult to change the battery. Just have a socket set in mm that range from 8mm - 194mm and you are good to go to fix most problems.
