Mercedes-Benz Polar White Touch-Up Paint – 149 / 9149
Polar White is Mercedes-Benz paint code 149, also written 9149, a solid non-metallic white used across the range. Each bottle holds 0.41 fl oz of exact-match paint for rock chips, door-edge scratches and small blemishes. Choose the paint on its own, or the complete repair kit — the kit adds body putty, a spatula, a sanding pad and four sheets of sandpaper, and gives a flatter, cleaner result than paint alone.
Confirm Your Paint Code First
The paint code is printed on a sticker, most often on the driver-side door jamb, and on many cars also under the hood. This paint is Polar White — the sticker should read 149 or 9149.
Worth reading it properly rather than going by eye. On a solid non-metallic finish there is no metallic flake to hide the edge of a repair, so a near-miss shows badly. Thirty seconds at the door jamb beats a repair you have to sand back off.

Paint covers the damage. Prepping and levelling first is what makes the repair disappear instead of sitting proud of the panel. For the best finish, take the kit.

Which Mercedes Use Polar White
Polar White entered the Mercedes range in 1994 and is still in use. It runs across effectively the entire lineup — sedans, coupes, roadsters, the SUV range, the vans and the EQ models — over three decades of production.
Which is why a model list would not narrow anything down for you. Almost every Mercedes built since 1994 was available in this color, and almost none of them were painted it. Your door jamb sticker is the only thing that settles it.
How to Apply
With the paint alone
- Wash and dry the area. Car soap and water, rinsed, then dried completely. Paint will not bond through road film.
- Clean inside the chip. Wipe it with isopropyl alcohol or a wax and grease remover on a lint-free cloth. Wax and polish collect in the bottom of a chip where washing never reaches, and that residue is the most common reason a touch-up lifts months later. Let the solvent flash off completely before going further.
- Pick away loose edges. If paint is flaking around the rim, lift it with a toothpick. Paint over a loose edge and the repair fails at that edge.
- Shake until you hear the mixing ball move. Thirty seconds is usually enough. Then twist the cap open and work the first paint out onto a piece of card until the brush flows evenly. Never load the brush over the car — the first stroke usually floods.
- Dab, don’t drag. Touch the brush to the centre of the chip and let the paint flow outward on its own. Dragging it like a marker leaves ridges and pulls color onto the good paint around the chip. On very small chips, transfer a bead onto a toothpick and place it instead.
- Build thin layers, stopping just below flush. Several thin coats beat one thick one. Finish a fraction below the surrounding surface rather than above it — a shallow dip catches far less light than a raised blob, and the blob is what makes a repair obvious from ten feet away.
- Leave at least 4 hours between coats.
Work in shade on a cool panel, ideally between 50°F and 90°F and out of direct sun. Hot metal flashes the solvent off too fast and leaves a rough, textured edge.
With the complete kit — for the best finish
- Wash and dry the area, then clean it with isopropyl alcohol or wax and grease remover.
- Sand the damage back with the coarser sandpaper to remove loose paint and feather the edges.
- Press body putty into the low spot with the spatula rather than piling it on top. Let it set.
- Sand level, finishing with the pad so the repair sits flush. Check by running a fingertip across it — your finger finds a step your eye misses.
- Clean the area again and let it dry completely.
- Shake until you hear the mixing ball move, work the brush out on card, then dab color into the repair in thin coats.
- Leave at least 4 hours between coats.
