Subject: [W126 Coupe] Paintwork Correction

 

I am thinking of getting a paintwork correction service done on my old 560
and I would like to know the thoughts of the group. There are lots of
different standards of paintwork correction over here in the UK, with a very
wide range of prices. I have seen the results on other cars even after a
fairly low standard and cheap job. The results are amazing and look like new
showroom condition after. My main concern is, how long does this look last,
and could a cheap job actually ruin the paintwork. After all, to say the car
is now 20 years old, the paintwork doesn't look bad, although a bit flat and
dull.
I wouldn't want to have this done, only to find six months down the road, it
would look worse than it does now. One of my thoughts is the wet sanding.
Wouldn't this take off the clear coat which is the reason the paintwork
looks as good as it does now after 20 years?
I know nothing about paintwork and hope that one or two of you can throw me
a few tips.
Thanks,
 
Vance
