chips and scratches
 

1990 300 SE Taupe-colored...Have some miscellaneous chips and scratches in the paint. Just put a new scratch on today. (...Depressed...) I'm tempted to try to buy some touch up paint (would a dealer even sell you this?) and try to fill in some of the worst scratches, and then wax it up. Any hope of success here? Any other ideas short of a professional paint job?

You might check the detailing section for answers to your questions.

There are car lots who use a mobil detailer
to fix these also. Though not as good as
repaint of panel, some of their work that I
have seen is quite good. They do color match
and airbrush. Larger MBZ Dealers should be
able to supply you with a name and phone #
of who they use. They also use the Dent Wizard
guys too.

And...Your dealer should be able to get you touch
up paint. It comes with a color and clear bottle
as a set, as I recall. They will need paint
code from your car if you do not know the
exact name of your color.
