respray

The 129 will be going into the bodyshop for its respray next month, once the last of the AMG bits arrive from Germany. This thrown us headlong into the highly contentious issue of badging :D The ducktail that Neil has kindly furnished me with is one of the non-embossed ones, so it needs...

All I am looking to get my recently aquired 124 estate re-sprayed. I want to stick with original colour (light metallic green). Will this save on cost? I am also looking for somebody who can do a good job at a reasonable price. I live in Kent but if the price is right would travel to have...

Discovered car has a deep scratch through to metal on car about 40mm long less than 1mm wide to the lower offside rear door. Anyone got experience of whether these scratches can be repaired without necessarily having the whole lower door panel resprayed by some of the smart repair agents out...

Hi Mb'ers, I am new to this but really need some help bringing my Merc up to a higher standard. I love my 1990 coupe (owned for 3years), but it has some rust developing on wings and water coming in through boot seal. Does anyone know a good trustworthy restorer who can also provide a quality...

Looking to get some bodywork done. I am based in Bedhampton, Hampshire. Looking for someone in the local area. Any suggestions? I have a W126 300se which I need a few bits of body work repair. The main parts are the usual place of the front wings. (pictures below) There are a few...

An odd idea... But I have some rusty panels, and I don't feel like forking out a lot of money on a respray. My thinking might be a tad off, but following from a sort of idea in this thread: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/bodywork/106111-w208-1999-clk-advice-rust.html I've thought about...

Does anyone know any good places in the east london(newham)/ilford area for spraying and at a reasonable price, as i need to spray the bonnet, bumper and drivers side wing, for a w203 coupe?

Guys, I am considering getting the car painted. Ive grown to like tourmaline green, but given the choice I may consider changing it up. My initial thoughts are Brown, like back in the day Porsche brown seen on earlier 114's etc. Or a very deep red/burgundy/oxblood something or...

So I'm looking back into this... Car is a W208 230k 1999 (have a look at pics in my sig) There is rust on lots of areas of the car - its not rotting, but there are small bits here and there (bootlid, arches, bonnet). The result is, every bodyshop I've taken it to have said that it will need...

Hi all, Some pictures of my W124 300TD recently resprayed. Both front wings replaced and both rear quarters repaired. Very happy with the quality of work. I have a set of 8-hole alloys to put on the car, however I have just realised that the wheels studs required are longer than those...

Has anyone resprayed an sl,replaced all rubbers,How much would it be roughly and who would be good to use around the midlands if poss, like a good job done???

Hi, I would like to respray my 1997 C class changing from solid white to metalic grey. Please recommend a good brand of metalic paint as I believe the major part of the cost is the labour and not the cost of the paint. Thanks.

How does £400 + vat sound for having a front bumper and bonnet resprayed by a reputable bodyshop?

Hi need a full respray on my Mercedes SL300, anyone know any good bodyshops around Romford Essex, willing to travel abit.

So I have picked up 2 used wings, both straight but not perfect, for my W210 as it has the standard rot. With some help from my friends and brother (one of which is doing all the body work) we got together to tackle the task of removing most of the front end to go away to the body shop. the...

Hi, I'm going to respray my not so nice 10 hole 16" Alloys soon, so my question is can someone recommend a good quality spray tin silver paint and is it advisable to lacquer them as well?

Respray old rusty bonnet - or a new one and spray? Hi, Hoping for your opinion on what you'd do, and also any idea on costs. Well my bonnet is peppered in small rust chips, all of which have formed dots of rust. In particular the section that meets the front bumper, under the front grill...

Hi, I've got a high mileage '00 clk, so it's got quite a few motorway chips, and it's starting to develop some rust and bubbles—the usual things for an ungaraged car of it's age I guess. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting it externally re-sprayed (maybe particular panels, maybe the whole thing)...

Hi could anyone give me a rough idea on what to expect. My car needs to have its bumper and bonnet resprayed due to stone chipping and also 1 rear 3/4 panel (due to rust around the bottom of the arch only). The car is a cl500 (w215), any help would be great as Im hoping I dont get ripped off...

Auto Trader UK - MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C240 ELEGANCE 4DR TIP AUTOMATIC I like the colour and it seems a good buy. But can't help thinking this is a respray? I've never seen a W202 in this colour before, anywhere.
