Paint code 996/3996 — Cardinal Red Prl B/C
996/3996 is the factory code for Cardinal Red Prl B/C, offered on Mercedes-Benz vehicles from 2015 to 2018. It appears under more than one name over the years — the table has each year's exact listing. Give a paint supplier the code, not the colour name.
Check it's really your code: on a Mercedes-Benz it's not on the door jamb — it's on a plate on the radiator support (under the hood) or inside the driver's door.
Mercedes codes are three digits, usually shown with a leading 0 (like 040 for Black).
