Morning all.

I’ve just bought a replacement front grille for my 2003 FFRR to replace my broken one, it’s intact and in good condition…except it needs a little paint.

Does anyone know the correct paint code? (Also is it the same for the door handles?

Secondly what prep needs to be done on the plastic for the paint to take?

Thankyou in advance for your help.

hi the paint code is under the bonnet on a plate . it is norm 3 numbers the handels should be the same colour coded with the car . paint code for epsom green is lrc 961 if this is the car you still have . prep for the grill and handels . i would scotch brite for a key then panel wipe . use a self etch or a plasto primer i would use plasto my self it is clear it has a very strong smell so mask up make sure you do the edges as well and then on with the base coat colour just a nuff to cover and do not over do it you are not looking for a high build on plastic then with in 20 min of putting base on get a clear coat of lacquer let that go for 5 min and put a second coat build it up to a high gloss leave dry overnight . if you take a colour match from the car and take it to a paint shop they will scan it and should give you the right shade of the base coat and mix it and put it in a spray can for you . that is if you do not have any spraying gear . new vehicle purchase

Trim paint codes aren't identified on the car.

I think the grille, vents & door handles are "Brunel" grey if they're the same as my 2006 car.
It has a paint code, BLVC LBO, Paint Colour Description - Brunel Grey Silver Chrome Matt

It's not easy to buy - as only specialist paint supplier make it up.

I bought some from a company off ebay, but it was so long ago ebay has wiped it from my purchase history.
I think I had to search for the paint code rather than its name

The supplied paint was a great match & looks great Paul,

Didn’t someone find a Mercedes colour that was pretty close, or was that the silver grey on the inside trim panels?

to save messing with paint go on to powerfuluk . com and buy the grill and door handle covers with the right colour format as pawl has explained or take the old grill to a paint shop and get it matched. new vehicle purchase

hi PM PANELS WARRINGTON will make paint for grill

Brunel is the colour of the later, post 2006 fatties...

This was the closest to the original 2003 colour I could find...

Thanks Haylands will give that a go as the handles need doing as well as the grille L322 TD6 2003
