Hi you could try one of these companies. I don't see the color listed but they may be able to mix it for you: rainbow products (http://www.geocities.com/rainbowproducts/)

307 Dark Green? The Tamiya colors you want to mix are X5 green, X1 black, and gunmetal (don't know the X#). I'd start with equal amounts of each, and then adjust from there. The same colors, with less of the black, will also give a very nice 275 Boston Green. Can't tell you the proportions (cause I haven't tried mixing it), but it takes some playing with to get it right. I was able to mix up a terrific 306 Atlanta Blue using X13 and X11- but not in the proportions suggested in the kit instructions. Closer to X11:2+X13:1.

(Someday, I'll have to finish it....)

i kno mercedes sell their own color coded spray cans. but u need to give them the part # or else they will tell u it doesnt exist. so u can goto dealer and see if they carry spray cans for ur color.
