What the car came in for

This Mercedes-Benz AMG E53 came in for a full exterior respray to bring its paintwork back to showroom condition.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, scanned the body for scratches and dents, patched and wet-sanded the panels smooth, masked off the non-painted surfaces, and resprayed the car in the booth. A ZeTough Titanium Paint Protection coating with above 9H hardness went on at the end for a lasting shine. The photos below follow the car from prep through to the finished reveal.

What a full respray involves

A full respray is mostly preparation. Before any colour goes on, the team dismantles the parts that come off, patches chips, wet-sands the whole body smooth, and masks off every surface that should not be painted. A sound, even foundation is what makes the final finish look right.

  • Removable parts dismantled before any spraying
  • Chips patched and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Buffed to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Titanium

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the paint is wet-sanded and buffed to bring up the shine, the trim and parts are refitted, and a ZeTough Titanium Paint Protection coating is applied on top to keep the finish glossy and protected for years.
