I now understand what I thought to be pitting around the grill is compound, sorry about that. I guess that is whats all over the wipers as well.....I can`t seem to understand how a repaint helps resale

As for the factory paint job not beng as good as many of us think, read the following link http://www.auto123.com/en/news/car-n...tid=21942&pg=1 and tell me your re-paint is as extensive or let alone mercedes paint jobs are not amazing.

One of the first things I ask when purchasing a car is, has there been any accidents or repaint..

How about you start a poll thread on this forum to see who prefers a respray as opposed to facotry paint, or who would pay more for respray than factory or who would not devalue a vehicle that has been resprayed

I don`t know, maybe I am stubborn in my ways but its seems most of your type of thinking in regards to the repaint is really thick and backwards mentality.

Regardless of value, your vehicle does look nice and congrats on your paint job.

LOL!

And I'm not saying people would prefer a respray always, but usually the colors I go with are not stock colors so they already know its been resprayed. Still, I did it for me. I got bored with a silver E55 what can I say.
