This looks interesting - about time they did something about paintwork. It's far too easily scratched.

Right, the next thing I want them to tackle is dents. Bodywork should be more "springy" - a couple of years from now they'll have a new acronym - SBP, Springy Body Panels :D . You read it here first ;) .

Mercedes-Benz World Premiere of Innovative Nano-Particle Clearcoat

Offers significantly greater scratch resistance and improved gloss

After four years of development work, an innovative new clear lacquer is set to go into series production at Mercedes-Benz at the end of 2003. Ground-breaking nano-technology ensures that the new product is substantially more scratch-resistant than conventional paint. The E, S, CL, SL and SLK-Class model series are the first cars in the world to be available with this new paint system, whilst customers of other Mercedes models can look forward to the increased scratch resistance of nano-paintwork from spring 2004. This new technology represents the Stuttgart-based car maker’s latest significant contribution towards considerably enhancing the already exemplary long-term quality and value retention of its passenger cars.

Like the SLR crash pic posted the other day!

About time they faced up to the crap paintwork - well done MB:bannana:
 
I wonder if existing vehicles could be retrofitted with Nano-Particle Clearcoat ;)
