Hello. I have a w213 53 Amg and I have a problem with the paintwork. Is the varnish 799 and 799u the same?
There is a sticker on the post. It shows 799 there. The usa vin decoder shows 799u.
The color of the car is pearl
Are there two paints? 799 vs 799u ?? Does it change?

MB paint codes are 3 digits. IMO vin decoders are often error prone. 799 is the color for touch-up paint (Diamond White).

The designo color is marked "u" as I can see in the Mercedes configurator. So the color for painting my car is 799. The paint is called 799 and as an equipment option it is given "u" by designo code. I understand well? There's a 799 without or with the "u" separately anyway?

AFAIK all Diamond White paint is Designo in the US.
