Re: [MBZ] Paint Question

I would doubt 040 was coated, as I found that it is not coated on the 300SE W140. I had to do a severe scuff coat (green pad, then 1000 thru 5000 grit) to deal with pine sap eating through the paint. Compound and polish to get the shine back. #1 boy sort of burnt through while buffing the

Re: [MBZ] Paint Question

Every instance of it I’ve found it’s been single stage, I just wanted to be sure. Someone asked me about cleaning up a finish on a W126 that has it, and I was reluctant to give them advice not being sure if it was clear coated or not. Thanks, everyone! Dan > On Feb 9, 2016, at 5:08 PM, clay

Re: [MBZ] Paint Question

I'm pretty sure that the 040 was a solid color with no clear coat. Just wanted to find out in reference to a possible paint recovery job. Thanks, Dan Sent from my iPad > On Feb 8, 2016, at 11:12 AM, WILTON via Mercedes > wrote: > > My '91 350SDL (126) did not have

Re: [MBZ] Paint Question

Being a franchise, the operator is giving you whatever warranty, not MACO. I'd be very explicit in respect what I will be getting for my money. A co-worker went to a MACO shop and got a quote for $ 450. He wound up being charged over $ 1,000. The 'quote' did not include materials, preparation and

Re: [MBZ] Paint Question

I need some objective feedback on MACO. Being a franchise operation, I'm hoping their guarantee is worth something in case of gross failure. I used MAACO on my Camaro. I bought the mid-level package, one with a notably better warrantee than the cheapest grade. It's been some six years now
