Not for the traditional M-B owner, but us bottom-feeders who now own the cars might be interested in the thread "Paint your car for $50" (or such) by a guy named 67Chargeryeehaw (or such). Don't ask, google it. It is about the longest car thread on the net. He surprisingly worked on a classic Dodge Charger (valuable today), while others did everything from a beat-up Jap economy sedan to a Porsche. Some use Rustoleum cans and others pricier Interlux Brightsides polyurethane "boat paint". I painted my camping trailer w/ later using the same "roll & tip" method as boats and came out smooth and shiny (has flush sides). Did the top of my 1965 Dart w/ the same white paint and method, and interior and trunk (spraying). Might use on my M-B cars which have severe clear-coat damage from CA sun. The roller method wastes less paint. For any application method, you must wet-sand to get it perfect.
