Bro,
if u dont mind, can explain on, "if you willing to spend money"...i mean, i know its hard to maintain...but wut are the things hard to maintain...why alot of work and time?

some are also suggesting that, the pearl white will turn yellowish thru time....is that true?....

i believe , ALL paints will have some abnormal effect when u touch up(i.e not smooth color transition across the car)....but on pearl, it may b abit more obvious...

So, if i actually go back to the same guy who painted my car...and he gets the mixture right...it shud be ok rite?


thank u so much guys for ur input...appreciate it alot!!

i have a habit of washing the the car atleast once a week....if it rains, i will atleast wash the dirt with water ....i guess this shud be sufficient to maintain it?...

im just scared, once i spend so much money on nice paint...after 2 years it looks rubbish...that will be a pain....

no worries about if im caring towards my car...hehe...coz i really take care of my car...right now, its in da body shop for complete rust protection and welding process. Been there for like 1 month plus...slowly restoring the car.

thanks guys for all the suggestions...will talk with the paint shop and come out with the best solution for my car

btw, mine is a Mercedes Benz W123 230 1979 Model.

Hopefully it turns out well...

yup...classic....well, thats my point bro....i wanna have a different color that is abit unique. I guess im too young to restore a classic look...heheh..i just wanna make sure inside, the rust n all are settled first. Personally, wanting to go for the original AMG look. Already on 16inch rollers....not easy to find ori rims for this car. Also plan to put EFI the car with MegaSquirt....eliminate the problem of fuel distributor in the car...coz i cant imagine puttin a jap engine into this car.

maybe after few year, will put back all the ori things on the car...still have the 14inch rims with hubcaps!!....

will post some pics once done with bodyshop...now super dusty la the car....so saddd.....
