I'm so confused. What color is this 1988 300SEL?
![]() It looks charcoal grey but according to the epc when I run the V.I.N. it's paint coat 199 Black Pearl Metallic which is also on the body plate. ![]() So is what they call Black Pearl Metallic actually a charcoal grey? Also the emissions label is saying it's a 4.2L 1989 model. So did someone put in a core support from an '89 420SEL? ![]() |

Post a picture of the driver's door jam VIN sticker. Sometimes the date of manufacture makes its way onto the title as the model year, which is not the same from about September through the end of December. Also, with the VIN we can check to see if the radiator support data plate is accurate.

The model year discrepancy has me stumped.

And the part about 4196 cc engine on the emissions sticker? I'm guessing the support panel was replaced with a junkyard part. But what is this color called?

199-Black Pearl Metallic

Various pics of a 201 chassis in the same color code, abut the same year:
Mercedes 190D 2.5

The emissions sticker doesn't actually say it's an 89 model. A "J" in the 10th digit of the VIN is an 88 model.

199 actually IS a charcoal gray, or black pearl metallic, just like our 300TE
![]() The "pearl" is what makes it gray. Not sure about the model year discrepancy, maybe deanyel has it correct.

It is 199. Just like my SDL and 560. Same as my old 420 too.
Black black is 040.

True but the sticker says the engine displacement is 4196 cc which is what a 420SEL engine is and that it confirms to regulations applicable to 1989. Strange.
