Since the wings on my e320 are well and truly swiss cheese, I picked up a pair of 'platinum plus' wings from carparts4less (a Eurocarparts subsidiary) for £115 delivered, so I figure now's a good time to have a practice at paint spraying
I've got a nice 14cfm compressor etc so no need to bother with spray cans, but I'd like to make sure the paint matches as closely as possible the original Metallic Azurite.
Anyone had any experience with paint matching the wonderful Merc water-based metallics at home? Or does everyone use acrylic spraycans / not-safe-for-home 2 pack paints?
I'd like to minimize the chances of paints from different manufacturers reacting, so is there a company somewhere which does the whole range of paints (etch / epoxy primer, filling primer, water-based metallic, lacquer) at a reasonable price?
