Color and visual aspect

The Atoll Blue Metallic – 375 color is a distinctive metallic blue shade used in the Mercedes paint range, which allows for an aesthetic integration of the handle into the body line without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle's paint matches the same code. The metallic structure of the coating ensures a consistent light reflection effect on the door surface, which is particularly important for repairs after localized damage or when replacing individual components.

Selecting a handle in the correct color reduces the scope of body and paint work, shortens repair time, and facilitates maintaining a uniform vehicle appearance, which is important for both utility and potential resale value.
