The vehicle in question is a 2008 CLK. I need assistance in doing a minor repair on a specific area, measuring about 1 inch by 2 inches, located on the steering wheel. The paint code for the colour is 805A, which is referred to as Amaretta Beige. Has anybody discovered a satisfactory colour match?

The information provided is inaccurate. According to the Sofolk image, Almond Beige, which seems to be very dark, corresponds to code 205. On the other hand, code 805A corresponds to Amaretta Beige, unless there is an error in my datacard.

Would it be logical to communicate with them by sending a message with the challenge? The individuals asserting that it is 805A.
Perhaps the web page has the desired content, but it is inaccurate or incorrect.

None of the individuals I have encountered seem to provide the Amaretta Beige colour anymore. The colour seen in the photograph is undoubtedly Almond Beige. I believe one of my E500 estates had that particular colour.
I need a minuscule quantity, hence a near approximation will do; it does not need to be flawless.

If they are unable to supply it, it is quite probable that they can prepare it for you.
They seem to produce hues rather than just selling colours produced by others.

They have the ability to produce Amaretta, without specifying a quantity, but it is now considered a non-standard hue and the total cost will be 50 euros, in addition to any applicable duty fees. The price seemed excessive for a little patch of two square inches, especially considering that it will not be seen while my right hand is placed on the steering wheel in the traditional 'ten to two' position.

Since there is no readily available supplier in the UK, it seems necessary to either renovate or replace the whole wheel.
Consideration: Can an R230 wheel be used on the C209?

Expensive... With the exception of that little area, the remainder of the wheel is in good condition.
Epiphany... In the past, I often assembled several Airfix models, using Humbrol colours as my preferred choice. The company is still operational, offering a wide range of over 170 hues. I will purchase two cans of paint, which I believe will blend to get a satisfactory quality suitable for official purposes, for the price of £6. Additionally, I will acquire a little amount of satin varnish, which I know I have someplace, to complete my requirements satisfactorily. If not, the cost remains at a mere £6.
