I've got a few rusty spots I need to touch up. I've rubbed off the flaky paint and applied rust killer. Now for paint. The colour is metallic maroon. I have a jam jar of paint from the body shop. It was left over from the last proper paint job the car had. I've done a bit of testing on...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the differnce between ceramic cats and metallic substrate ? Is one quieter than the other ? One higher flow ? Any recommendations for a replacement on a 01 CLK 230K W208 ? Thanks

Hi Does anyone have any tips for rest repair on a metallic paint car. Mine is silver and all the wings and boot edge have surface rust. is it possible to get the paint to blend in. My touch up is the correct code but looks quite different and also the painting is so obvious. Can I sand to two...

The head gasket has just gone on my K reg 280TE and the repair costs are more than I paid for the car. So unless I can find a cheap mechanic to repair it, it’s up for sale Here’s the spec Dark metallic grey, bodywork has a few scratches and small dents but the only rot on the whole car is a...

Just came off the phone with an aging relative who got a new small car this week. Just before picking up the car she got a call saying it had metallic paint and that they wanted an extra £400. She went along with another relative and settled at a lower price (they won't tell me how much after I...

Hoping this is a quick one. I got into my car today, selected reverse to back off my drive and the car seemed to struggle a little to move. There was a metallic clunk as it finally started to move. After that all seemed ok, I tested all gearbox functions and there were no problems at all. I...

Just put this up on Ebay, it was for sale before but I have had two people not turn up having won it. I have just had it MOT'd so no worries there. If anyone would like it I am open to offers! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160301366351&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=006

Saw a colour today I've never seen before: 256 crystal green metallic It's properly Old School and would look truly awful with some interiors. With black leather it looked rather cool Needless to say, it wasn't an estate. A Crystal Green estate would be going a bit far, even for the...

I have decided that the Baby Merc has to go and am replacing it with more practical CLK convertible. @129k miles could do with some TLC, but I am open to offers. If you want any deatils and photos just PM me:D

Anyone happen to know the code for this ? I have a stone chip (just the one) that needs zapping with a touch up brush. I read that the code should be on the radiator support but can't find it. Cheers CJ

Folks, I've started to notice a kind of faint metallic "ringing" noise when driving the coupe. It doesn't seem to always be there, just sometimes. Anyone got any experience of this or know what I need to do to stop it? It's getting a wee bit annoying now! TIA, KJ

my merc is Pearlescent paint but how is that different to metallic?

Here's an odd one worth a punt around the forum... over the last month or so there's been a horrible rattly noise when I accelerate (best way I can describe it is being like rice being shaken around in a kitchen collander might sound.... sort of rapid scratch and rattle, fairly loud but not...

Anyone got a good pic of a car in (1996 year) Paint Code 189 Emerald green black metallic (Smaragdsschwarz)? I want to know what it's like Is it darker than Tourmaline Green? Thanks! Nick Froome www.w124.co.uk

Not sure if this is the right topic area but it's not a body work problem I have. Can anyone shed some light on the benefits, or otherwise, of choosing a metallic or pearlescent black over a standard solid black. I guess in certain light conditions the non-solid variety can look pretty...

Hi guys, Love all the black mercs on this forum. I'm getting a E270CDI in black with pebble beige interior. With the new nano tech clear coat, I hear that swirl marks etc are much less a problem. Given this, should I save the (exhorbitant, I think) cost of metallic black as in obsidian...
