lacquer

See post first http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/bodywork/84466-current-rust-warranties-2.html#post1061048 I parked up next to a similar aged ML270 yesterday and as a typical Merc freak I couldn't help but give it a quick look over when the owner returned and we started to chat. I mentioned to...

About 50% of the surface has flaked off. Any suggestions on what to use to remove the rest of the paint / lacquer? I am going to repaint in situ.

:( As the title suggests, suddenly on the black rear plastic pillars either side of the rear screen, the lacquer is peeling off very quickly and very noticeably. I noticed on another ML nearby the same thing happening. How much to get these re-lacquered you reckon? :dk:

Hi all, My set of alloys on my car in the photo in the signature are in need of refurbishment. Should I have the alloys refurbished by Amazing Alloys, painted silver, or could I DIY them by polishing the alloys back to bare metal and lacquer them to achieve the polished metal look? Many...

is there a difference between early and late model w124s on the type of lacquer on the lower body covers and bumpers? The early ones look more matt - are the later ones the same paint and lacquer as the bodywork or is there a difference?

I would like to protect my newly obtained & newly cleaned sport calipers which have 'mercedes' written on them, hence I would like a clear lacquer. All of the brake caliper paints are coloured. I have found a VHT paint, but this needs heating up to 200deg or so for full curing, which I do not...

Managed to get a 2nd hand MP Design steering wheel, but unfortunately it has some cracks in the lacquer on the birdseye section on the top :( Not the greatest pics I'm afraid, but it's a tricky thing to photograph. ...is there a polish or other product I could apply to hide the...

Just discovered on the rear pillar on my ML (between the rear window and the side rear window) that a small area has started to peel. This isn't a painted surface, it looks like a black plastic trim. The other side is fine. How do I sort that out? :(

Can this be done DIY? I would like to remove the lacquer so I can polish the diamond cut lip properly and keep it pristine. The lacquer is ok, but to my trained eye has a few small faults. I quite like the look now I have it, so don't want to get them painted like my old ones unless I can...

Hi guys, i touched up some of the stone chips etc on my car today... i have a few questions... do i need to use more coats? and do i need to use the lacquer stick that i got with the kit from MB? many thanks as always!!! Zak

Does any one know if these mobile paint repairers (i.e chips away etc.) can do anything where the lacquer has just started peeling?? I think the car has had a respray at some point!!

just noticed on the roof where the plastic rain gutters are that a couple of small spots of laquer has come off the paint. Paint itself is fine. Will it be ok to just touch it up or does it need more of a fix?

When I had my AMGs refurbished recently, Lepsons tried very hard to persuade me to have the whole thing painted instead of having the rims shiny. They said that there is NO guarantee with the shiny rim, but a full 12 months for whole thing painted. Naturally, I opted for the shiny rim :devil...

Hi all managed to refurbish one of my wheels by using Nitromorse a lot of hand polishing and some Halfords clear lacquer. Problem is i am not sure if the lacquer i used if the best one suitable. Anyone any suggestions the lacquer i used seemed to take a lifetime to dry. 230K

Not long after I got my car, a blister appeared on the front wing, just in front of the indicator repeater. It eventually burst and left a large thumbprint size area without any clear coat lacquer. Nobody else notices it, but I do and it irritates me. Took it back to the dealer yesterday...
