Love seeing stuff like that, keep em coming.We've got some shots today of some wheel trims being prepped for paint.
The Mercedes emblem is being covered with tape so that it can be carefully peeled back following the paint process to reveal the shiny chrome Mercedes star.

....
Let me know if this is something that may be of interest?
Brings back the memories....
Here are said wheel trims from above being painted in Bentley Silver Lake.
It's the first time I've personally seen a set of 280SL wheel trims in this colour - excited to see the entire car in this colour when complete.
What's your take on this shade of blue?
Tell me about it, have spent many hours standing over those hubcaps masking them up!
Nice change though seeing someone else doing it
Same here, 00slk, When it all come's down to it...the actual spraying is just the tip of the iceberg...preparation, preparation and more preparation..is everything !!!! Get the preparation wrong, and pay the price in the finished product !!!
Things are beginning to take shape on this horizon blue pagoda - a very popular choice.
The one covered to the left is also to be horizon blue.
In fact, blue is very much the theme.
There are 5 different shades of blue nearing completion at the moment.
