Hi all

I have a 2004 CL500 which is my pride and joy.

Sadly today I noticed some bubbling of the paint at the bottom of the wheel arch. It’s nothing too bad but my car is in superb condition cosmetically and this has thrown me a bit.

I understand that the paint repairs aren’t easy as the metal is aluminium?

Does anybody know what I need to do to correct it?

Many thanks

Kindest regards

Apparently not all body shops paint Aluminium?

well you need to get to a body shop and ask the question.

Used to be a problem back when the Audi A8 came out and was aluminium, but there are loads of cars made with aluminium panels now.
