Flint Grey Metallic – 368 Color and Aesthetic Qualities
The factory color Flint Grey Metallic – 368 is a subtle, elegant shade of grey with a metallic finish, characteristic of premium Mercedes models. The use of original metallic paint facilitates visual matching with other body parts, reducing the scope of potential painting work.
For body shops and end-users, this means a faster and more predictable body renovation, maintaining color consistency and the aesthetic typical of the luxury sedan segment.
Technical Characteristics and Installation
The right front fender for the Mercedes W221 has been manufactured as a structural body component, adapted to work with factory brackets, supports, and inner shields. This ensures an organized installation process, maintaining the correct position relative to the headlight, bumper, and front door.
The part has a specified structural weight, chosen by the manufacturer to provide a balance between rigidity and minimizing loads on the body structure. The used nature of the part allows for the reuse of an original component, which is beneficial both economically and in terms of reducing the consumption of new raw materials.
