What the car came in for

The owner of this Mercedes-Benz C200 wanted the car restored to its former glory with a fresh coat of paint. The car came in for a full exterior respray.

Over the course of the job the team dismantled the necessary parts, checked the surface for scratches, dents and dings and patched them, wet-sanded the body smooth, masked off the non-painted surfaces, and resprayed the car in the booth before buffing it to a deep shine. A ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating went on at the end for a mirror-like, long-lasting finish. The photos below follow the car from arrival to the finished reveal.

What a full respray involves

A full respray is mostly preparation. Before any colour goes on, the team 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.

  • Chips patched and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth
  • Buffed to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

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 Ceramic Paint Protection coating is applied on top to keep the finish glossy and protected for years.
