Mercedes-Benz C200, given a fresh coat of paint.

This Mercedes-Benz C200 came in with stone chips, scratches, and tired paintwork, so the car went through a full respray and a ZeTough Titanium coating at Revol Carz.

What the car came in for

This Mercedes-Benz C200 arrived at Revol Carz with a lot of stone chips, scratches in places, and other paintwork blemishes. The owner wanted a fresh coat of paint and the car restored to a showroom finish.

Over seven days the car was stripped down, its panels examined and repaired, wet-sanded smooth, masked, then resprayed and polished. The photos below follow that work from the day it arrived through to the before and after reveal, with the car sealed in a ZeTough Titanium coating at the end.

What a full respray involves

A full respray is not just a change of paint. The result depends on what happens before any colour is laid: dismantling trim and parts, checking the surface for imperfections, patching chipped and uneven areas with filler, and wet-sanding until the foundation is smooth.

  • Surface examined, filled, and wet-sanded smooth before any paint
  • Panels masked to keep paint off trim and glass
  • Polished to a smooth, even finish after spraying
  • Sealed with a ZeTough Titanium coating

At Revol Carz the panels are wet-sanded again, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid, the paint is wet-sanded and polished to a smooth finish and the car is reassembled. A ZeTough Titanium coating on top keeps the new paint protected and glossy for years.
