Bare Metal Respray in UK

(1/3) > >>

Gormanston:
Hi, can anyone recommend a good place to get a bare metal respray for mu 1967 250SL please?

JamesL:
Hello and welcome

Pics of your car are required, obviously!

Is it prepped? Have a chat with Colin Ferns (has done mine)? If it's just a spray job, there must be any number of places you could go... I know folk who've had good experience with Chesterton Coachworks

Gormanston:
Hi, the car has been repainted at least twice. It has signs of filler and has some nice rust spiders in a number of places. The car is never likely to be sold so would like have it done properly, hence wanting a bare metal job. I’m not looking for it to be a show car, as want to still use it, but want it to be as good or better than it left the factory.

JamesL:
If there's paint on it, there'll be rust under it somewhere!

And getting that priced is like asking how long is a piece of string.

Hi

My belief for a bare metal respray it would be best to acid dip the car.   I know some are not keen on that approach.  Where I had it done, it was a two tank procedure one for paint removal and one for rust removal followed by a rust preventative procedure.  Since the car is dipped the rust is removed from areas that cannot be reached by other techniques.   Have attached photos of car after the dipping process.
