MB Nanopaint?
Do the MB certified collision centers typically follow through with the correct process of say repainting a bumper and fender that came factory with nanopaint (like C744)?
From what I read on a forum post from 10 years ago said that the MB ceramic coat is not available for refinishing.. Is this still true? Has it evolved? Or am I wrong?
Has anyone ever had a MB shop repaint a boo boo on their W211 E55? If so, did it come back to you as good as original with the anti scratch "ceramic" properties? Any difference in shade, color, consistency, or protection?
I asked these questions elsewhere but haven't been able to find a definitive answer.. It never really dawned on me until last night and I won't be able to call the body shop where my car is until Monday morning to hear their process..
I'm sure it's easy to match a color like a C744 but can anyone offer any insight on whether or not these collision centers apply MB nanopaint or do they typically use a standard automotive paint?
Another question for the experts, did MB apply nanopaint to bumpers from factory or only to the metal panels? I wonder because the curing process for nanopaint seems rather complex and requires a bit of heat that would possibly exceed the structure limits of composite body parts..
