Matching Paint Kit
Hey everyone
A MB VIN deconder gave me DIAMOND WHITE - METALLIC PAINT (799U)
I'm just looking for a small kit to cover the replacement front jack plug cover I just got. These kits are super common and often will also include a can of primer and clear if you option that.
The potential issue I'm seeing is that there are thousands of results for Diamond White [799] but none for Diamond White Metallic [799U]
Does that make a difference?
Also, what's the most cost effective way to do this? Maybe there's a paint supplier that I can go through instead of just buying an eBay kit and end up with more paint for my money?
Also maybe you guys know of one that's tried and true to deliver quality paint?
Open to all of your suggestions :-)

Someone correct me, but if you present your VIN at the dealer to order the part, the dealer will know what color the part should be, and provide it accordingly.
