I found that I had sample colours from XKSS which seems to be same company - I got these in 1990 when I bought new seat covers! Funny thing is that my car has interior code 263 and says it is mahogany, but the samples that match are code 263 which XKSS called Tobacco. The colours on their web site are not the same as either of them! |
I called them about the primer, and they did recommend using it. I said I would be coating a black console similar to the ones they are still selling, so they understood the application. Not to alarm you Scott, but they said that the dye might peel off if the primer was not used.
Regarding the discrepancy in the colours, they said their codes, although similar numbers, are NOT the MB codes. So, my code 263 being called Mahogany by Mercedes and Tobacco by WU, is not altogether surprising. She said I should by mahogany, but my colour swatch that matches my seats and other parts is called tobacco, so that's what I went with. It would be so much easier to just drive over there and talk to them as Scott did!
Should have this stuff later this month. Then will take my time dismantling old unit and maybe trying some of the spray on that first to see what it will look like.
