Wunderbar! But then, I am partial towards der Ältere Panzerwagen
If you were not so far away, I`d give you a shot at the swirly white that covers my 560SL. :faint:

I have the same car, only in white. You did a fabulous job. These old benzes are really something else. Durable and though is quite an understatement. I`m getting ready to do some corrective work on mine here soon. How hard was the clear coat?

I`ve owned a few of these big bodied w126, and you did a GREAT job on that beauty !!! That paint is black pearl, and IMO the best paint Mercedes Benz ever put on a car. those wheels are a real pain to clean. They are clearcoated and I usually buff them up to a mirror shine when there in good shape.
NICE WORK !!!No buff to tuff
