paint

I've just bought a set of 17" AMG rims for my 2008 S204. They are in need of full refurb due to lacquer peel etc. I know a good place to get them fully stripped and repainted - they did my 968 wheels last year and made a superb job of them at a reasonable price. I'm wondering whether I'd be...

I am looking at getting some touch up paint for my w203 it has a paint code of 189 which I think is opal black (It is a odd colour it really does not look black) I found some paint which has the same paint code but it says SMARAGD BLACK does anyone know if this is the same paint. Thank you

Looking at the attached image, is anyone able to tell me how to find the paint code? Kind regards

Hi I have a W202 which is nearly 20 years old with the original paint (imperial red). From the photos you can see that the wheel arch is the original un-faded colour and the rest of the car has faded. This is due to a horrible chrome wheel arch trim that was on there, which protected the...

Hi My C36 is imperial red, although it has faded slightly (only slightly). Any know if there is anywhere is Nottinghamshire/South Yorkshire where they can match paint from the car to compensate for the slight fade. Thank :)

Hey guys, Hoping you could help me out with the paint code for fire opal red (2011 car)?? As I'm looking to order the rear lip spoiler from Taiwan! So guessing I'll be needing this when ordering... Thanks in advance

Can anyone advise on where I could get the paint code for MB wheels. I want to refurb a set of R129 Sador wheels and want them to be the right shade so it doesn't look too aftermarket. In some pics they seem to have a different finish on the spoke face to the inner spoke if that ,akes sense I...

Anyone recommend someone they know and have used for paint correction in East Sussex? Thanks!

Is there a risk of leaving a paint "shadow" when a badge has been removed from an older car? I am about to take delivery of a 2007 black CLK500 (see query above about detailing) and want to debadge it to avoid unwanted attention. I have read a lot about the technique using hot water/hair dryers...

I am due to pick up my new toy next weekend, a white A45 AMG:). Huge break for me as the last 6 cars I've had have all been black. I've not gone for super guard or anything else but would like people's thoughts on how best to start. I'm assuming cleaning the paint first, I have both Dodo Juice...

Hi everyone! I have a 2005 Mercedes W220 S500 with silver seats . Very clean outside but the interior looks dirty. The seats do not have scuffs but looks dirty. I've been trying to clean them up with many different products but no success. I was thinking of applying some paint on them and...

Hello, I've owned a (2008) W164 ML for the last 1.5 years. Over the past 6 months the paint has developed milky patches. My local garage (not a dealer) says it the paint delaminating and the lacquer is comign away from the paint underneath. This was an expensive car for me and one that I've...

I've got Autoglym products as they were pretty good for my obsidian black CLS.

Just got through an email from the AA 15% off on Chips away.

My car was largely resprayed last year so currently is devoid of paint swirls and the likes. However when you rub your hand across it it isn't quite as smooth as in the past when I have had cars detailed... is this what paint correction does... smooths the paint and brings out more of a shine...

can someone tell me what colour blue my van is vsa 638094223377655 can not find any paint colour plates thanks

Looking for E320CDI at the moment and what amazes me is that even amongst saloons black colour (or very dark colours) are a tiny minority. I understand with estates the issue is that when painted black they look like a hearse, but saloons painted black look like state cars. When painted into...
