What AW Chief said. You should be able to find the OEM paint code on a label stuck on the underside of the hood, or on the cross-member in front of the radiator.

Talk about timely. I just received and used brillant silver touch up paint for my 2011 from Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup

Five days after I ordered, I had a small bottle of silver and another of clear coat. It was a perfect match.

To be sure it's the correct paint code, find the paint code for your vehicle. It should be located on platform the driver side seat under the leather skirt on a panel. More than likely it's 744 as well.

Highly recommended.

Nope, it's on the side of the drivers side platform. See page 319 of the 2014 manual where it states: "Open the driver’s door.
You will see vehicle identification plate :
with the vehicle identification number
(VIN), the paint code and the permissible
weight data."

I couldn't locate it in the usual places, and finally, after several attempts to locate it, I actually read the manual.

Touch up paint

I got my touch up paint kit form MB dealer. It is MB brand silver with clear top coat in a kit. Although I probably paid more then other sources.

I just go to an auto paint store with the paint code and get half a pint of single stage paint mixed up. It is usually under 15 bucks.

For older (T1N) Interstate owners: Our paint info was printed on a little tiny card buried in the eight pounds of propaganda and paraphernalia contained within the owner's manuals pouch. Easy to miss it (I did for the first several months).

Touch up paint

Hi all, I have a wonderful 2006 Airstream sprinter and need touch up paint...Problem is that this year was made by Dodge and Mercedes so who painted it?? The lable on door is coded for white because original dodge was white then it went to mercedes or airstream to be fitted out as a sprinter. I am stuck and don't need the entire hood painted by auto body shop. I have tiny ticks from travel on the hood that I want to treat it to keep it in presine condition. Any advice will be appreciated
Cheers!

Try the Universal Silver color, which is what I use and an excellent match.

I think it’s a Rustoleum product.
