paint

Hey everyone I'm having my car resprayed by one of my customers for free,( well apart from paying for the paint) as long as he can use it on his ads which is fine by me. The car is a 1992 with the 2 tone paint, white top and Matt bumpers and skirts. Should I keep it to that colour combo...

Malachite Green? Spruce Green? They both seem to have the same paint code of 249 so I guess it's the same colour but different names for different markets? Whatever, I like it and really suits the car.

Couple of my rims have a few battle scars so will refurb them, any suggestions as to what shade matches oem on a 219 CLS, I usually go for Ford Stratos silver as it seems to not be too bright but thought I may as well do it properly and see if there is an actual, correct colour ?

Hi all, Does anyone know what the paint depth should be on a 2007 era Merc? The current lot seem to be about 80-120 microns but what about older cars? Cheers, LL

Hello, does anyone know how to achieve the original paint colour of the w124 wiper, being satin matt dark grey (I think), any info on matching readily available paint colour much appreciated Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the Glasgow area? Thanks folks.

My W201's pearl grey metallic. I will do the Gen 2 bumpers, ducktail, skirts and cladding in body colour. I think I'll paint the grill surround and chrome radiator strips body colour too and the grill insert satin black. What does the panel think about the bumper inserts, door handles and...

My car used to daily commute some 20 miles along the local rural roads. The roads department re-chip these roads most summers and leave it for the traffic to pack down. A few years of this resulted with the sills looking very poor with damaged lacquer and no amount of cutting back was going to...

Just wondered if anyone has had any experience of using the Halfords touch up 3 step kits, im not a novice when it comes to car repairs and paints but I am having real difficulty in getting a colour match for my 2012 iridium silver (paint code 775) c class. The Halfords one is way too dark...

I must have driven through some new road paint recently as I have splatter behind the front wheel arch and drivers door. My car is obsidian black and the paint spots are white :( Anyway, I have tried polish and safe-cut but the best method I have found so far is a thumb nail. That does not...
