Wow! I just read through your paint job/dash thread. That is some incredible work. Very inspiring, and I am now honestly considering attempting to paint a W123 like this. Beautiful looking car though, looks like you have some patience!

The "Roll and Tip" method works good on lighter colors, but on my current project I tried it with High Gloss Black there were brush lines, so I ended up using a HVLP spray gun. took a while to get it right. good luck! |

Too Many Cars !
I hear you ~ I have a CD, TD and 240D plus others, eventually I'll need to choose one, not sure which it'll be although the graymarket 300TD will be the first to go . it's very nice, I just don't like it much, too darn big .

Okay good advice. Though I am curious, how did you match the paint? Or was the car a completely different color before? I guess what I am asking is, did you paint the engine bay, door jambs etc. or was the car already a similar color?

Be sure to test a small area to make sure the Awlgrip bonds to the previous paint. Yes I did paint door jams and Touched up in the engine area. |

No over spray, less taping, costs less, easy to touch up. A professionally sprayed car will look a little better if done right. If you want a low maintenance tuff paint job on your daily driver its beyond very good. You will see slight lines if you look for them, but will also see orange peel in a spray job. If you want a Show Car then pay more and have it professionally sprayed. Not too many W123 s are show cars. I wouldn't Roll and Tip a W113. I am happy with 2 cars I painted, the car I am painting now (no fault of Awlgrip) has problems with a previous paint job, so I am removing several layers of low quality paint then will have to repaint again. Good luck with what ever you end up doing. |
