Looks fantastic, great job.

Could almost be a different car

I see that the rust areas are common for CLKs of that age, unfortunately.

I love picture threads like this. It's great to see it back looking like new again. Great work Clive - where are you based?

 

[tpwuk]

How long did that take you Clive?

 

[dokalj]

Was that a full respray on the exterior, except for the roof?

 

[mrcgibb]

yes full respray apart from roof

That's excellent totally transformed the car, looks great with those wheels.

Looks fantastic indeed - Interested to know the ballpark price of such a job.

CLKClive.... just a quickie, after all the spraying is done I assume you stll have to machine polish it all to get rid of any minor imperfections.

With the other thread raging about detailing and such, what technique/products do you use to compound the paint and provide the final finish?

 

[Mike Walker]

Looks fantasic - and enjoyed the thread which gives all of us with rusting cars some hope at least.
