300E Paint Job

I have a 1987 300E which is a light grey which im starting to dislike. Has anyone ever gotten a w124 repainted? Im interested in colors and costs of an entire paint job.

I had my 260 repainted with the original color (702 smoke silver) for $2,500.

Had mine completely redone https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...20#post671320.

I kept the original colour but lost the two tone and colourmatched the lower trim and bumpers.

I drove the car from the UK to Croatia and had the whole car stripped to the shell and then sanded back to metal inside and out before a complete make good and respray for about £1000.

It was a fair old drive there and back though.

Thumbs up

If you do paint your car, make sure to color match the bumpers, side mirrors, door moldings (both impact and lower), and rocker panels. Your car will look WAY better.

Yes. Sanded to bare metal, primed, painted, and five coats of clear.
