Looking for body car painting

[fazidk]

Well some cars are 'easier' to treat then some...just need to know how n where n a bit of elbow 'grease' (elbow sweat actually)...

Why your new car already want to respray?......lol

I wanted to get red color initially, but red color need to wait for 6 to 8 months to built. I didn't want to wait. Was considering wrapping also, but still hesitating because need to dismantle also.

bro vr2turbo should make a mini tutorial how to DIY minor rust treatment for a car.

Rust go many issues one. For the windscreen I suspect is from outside, so sanding it down and protecting it from outside should last a while. However like door panel and joints, those rust are from inside and when the bubble of rust pops out, sanding that down and painting over it will last a short while only as the rust is coming from inside.....:rolleyes:

Oh! in that case since your car is so new, I suggest you find one that have oven facilities to dry the paint.....

Oven baked is definitely better so that the paint sets correctly.
Plus, the environment in the paint booth is cleaner for paint job....unlike some cheapo ones that do it openly at the shop front where dust might stick to the wet paint.

D main culprit for painters are d dust...oven or even a proper spray booth is good enuff...d only difference between d 2 is again d cost factor...an oven can cost about 30k new (used I've seen selling at 18k)..a proper designed n built spray booth does d job for a fraction of d cost...as long as d vacuum n fan is put up properly to suck out n minimize d dust then half ur work is done...d rest nothing a good polish n wax x do..

So far for full respray they usually do in the boot. Doing at shop front usually are touch up or respray small portion like fender etc....

Phew, brand new shinny white AMG already want to change color?? I strongly suggest you not to do it bro, this is Mercedes after all, not cheap Myvi or Proton. I can almost guarantee you after repaint it will not be as nice as original, especially if you don't want to dismantle stuff. Later when resale, your car price will not be as good as it should be if still original color.

Wrapping is surely the better option if you really2 want change color, at least the original color is still preserved nicely so can return it back like new again if one day you're bored with the red. The dismantling will not be as extensive as repainting requirement, so still relatively less risky.

Bro. VoodooEx, your Mercedes what type of white?

Just recently I came across a very interesting original Mini. But I noticed some rust spots on the undercarriage,

Fazidk - I don't suppose you do rust repair?
