Where is paint code location?
I have a 2012 ML350 in Diamond White. I want to determine if it is a ceramaclear paint, which if it is should be shown in the paint code starting with a "C". Where can I find this paint code on the vehicle?

On the Identification Plate inside the Drivers Side Door. See page 381 of the Owner Manual.

Thanks! You are correct and I found it. It is 799 which is the code for diamond white. There is no "C" in front of that number so I think it must be the regular clear coat and not ceramiclear. When in doubt, check the manual - thanks again.

Consider the source..
ShortSp - the old phrase is "consider the source" and the "C": prefix was only used "old days" to distinguish S-Class nano, when the rest of the production/models same color were non-nanao.
yes - you have Ceramiclear "nano" clearcoat - please see

Sorry - long day - see attached
That said - "nano" PPG is used almost all production vehciles - except Sprinter - and PPG also now licenses same formulation to Glasurit as well.
That said - any damage to Daimond White should be handled by a MB Certified Collision Center.
Einzsett worked out OK for you - quite affordable wasn't it ?
I am NOT a fan of "full buff polish" of nano clearcoat at all.
