Hello. I'm having to do some touch up and wondering if anyone knows who what these colors are and who makes them. MB64223, MB 41824, MB51076, and MB40888

Thank you

I searched Google advanced for "paint code MB40888" which took me here.

Any automotive paint store should be able to decode any you can't find, good luck.

Not long ago I lost the fridge vent on my full body paint unit. It’s SOB so not directly helpful. But it was interesting trying to match my paint for the new one. Turns out my brand uses an industrial truck paint and none of the auto body shops I visited could match the formula precisely. I ended up letting them use their computerized paint matching camera to do the best they could with their automotive paints. Needed three colors, black, grey and white. As best as I can tell the black is spot on, the grey is quite good and the white - which thankfully there isn’t much of - is only fair. Also it was an expensive deal what with three colors on plastic and clear coated. Hope you find a better solution!

Decoded color won't match an almost 20 year old paint job.
As said above;
A good paint shop can match you a pint from scratch by using a spectrometer(ish) device.
