What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[John Laidlaw]

You can...

I very often thought about beating mine ...( and the SL)

Nice colour, did you get these powder coated, looks similar to my paint.

They were painted satin Black a while ago, I am re-painting them in gloss black

You need to get out there in your waterproofs, now is the best time to wash it !! The only problem will be that people will think you are slightly unhinged !

That should look good against the dark wheels. Fair play for the missus letting you do this in the house.

Corrected that for you!

It was a job that I wanted to do, but I need to research properly and not make a mess. There are a few YouTube vids out there. Be good to see a photo when it's all done.

Really simple:

Halfords Brake cleaner
Wire brush
Halfords Caliper paint
1/2" paint brush

Clean calipers, light sand, 3 coats of paint

The paint dries really quickly so you could easily do a corner at a time, about 10 mins between coats and 3 coats on all done

Just had a shock after seeing the seagulls flying low, when I spotted this, wasn't there before the onslaught


Through the curtain it looked like they have been eating healthy, but on closer inspection.......

OMG, you've dripped paint over your lounge carpet

Bought it a set of winter wheels while they were cheapish. Lets hope the rear summers can last till the winters go on
