Looking good, lovely colour too. I've got to do similar on my Sport but opting first to replace a couple of doors etc with 2nd parts in the same original colour - that' the only advantage of 744 silver. Keep up the good work.

Mine a V6 buddy. its so quiet you can hardly hear it tick over. Use it on W setting instead of S and getting about 29 mpg average which i'm very happy with. I do have a real light boot and a member of The Institute of Advanced Motorists. good luck, tony. PS, is yours Azure Blue like mine ?

 

[Mercedes man]

Hi tony it's auqamarine blue the light was rubbish when I took photos stew

Still a gorgeous colour mate. Happy renovating. Thankfully mine was dent and mark free when i got it. would rather have my head under the bonnet ha. Have my own spray gear and done some smaller motorcycle fairings but never attempted car bits except a few bumpers etc.

 

[Mercedes man]

Hi paint work took ages on stripping parts and filling all dents but looks great now .was as always about prep work

 

[tonyc280]

I agree mate. Preparation is everything. No good painting over anything but a flawless surface!!!
