[W126 Coupe] lower cladding paint

[Dick Spellman]

Shin,

if that original paint has faded you will need to do a blend.  Maybe a 
digital image at the local paint shop to make the mix and they can set 
you up with a one step spray can if its a small blemish.  I've repainted 
all of my lower cladding on a 300se the original gray color but, removed 
all , including the chrome strips to get it right.  All done on benches 
and off the car.  The touch-up I made up and use in a Preval sprayer as 
the occasional nick occurs.  If it's a nick with depth, I use a two step 
filler then paint with the Preval.

Regards,
Dick
