05' C paintwork scratch proof ?
I read that MB uses Nano technology on the 05' facelift C class , that gives extra protection i.e. Scratch proof .
Is this true?

Great
Would that also mean more expensive to repaint ? In case of scratch repair , will MB will repaint using "Nano lack". Just guess not other repair shop can offer this technology..........cnt

MB has a list of standard clear coats that can be applied with nano clear coats but they do not have a way to re-apply nano paint at this time.
So if someone says "it is more expnsive to repaint" the new MBs because it is nano lack technology, we can say they are trying to rip us off right

quick quesiton about painting - when a part of the car is being repainted, is it necessary to put it in a bake room? i had my front bumper repainted and the shop just applied the primer, paint, clear coat and then let it dry.
any input will be great!
