Mercedes Classe E - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe E W210 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Fender paint repair

If you have to repaint any element of the bodywork, the quality of the preparation is absolutely fundamental: it is therefore necessary to straighten any dents to reduce the amount of putty to be applied to a minimum (after straightening it may be necessary to perform hot shrinkage to reinforce the sheet unnerved by hammering); then smooth the stucco in order to restore the profiles perfectly; apply some primer and after it is perfectly dry, sand it in wet to make the surface perfectly smooth; carefully clean the surface with solvent or anti-silicone and proceed with the painting by carrying out several consecutive coats until perfect coverage: do not expect to obtain the finished result already with the first pass; finally apply the clearcoat and let it dry.
