This classic Mercedes had to be re-painted after collision repair, mainly because it is very difficult to match old metallic paint. This was a challenging job because the interior and engine compartment were both perfect and had to be protected through the whole process. The customer selected a color that was very close to the original Mercedes silver but a bit brighter. The result was stunning. The car was completed just in time to be invited to the Mercedes-Benz Dealer Group meeting in Denver. Mercedes-Benz unveiled the new 2010 SLS Gullwing, alongside our customer’s car, to dealers for the first time. After the meeting, both cars were shipped to Sedona, Arizona for the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Owner’s Convention where our the car won 1st place in its class. Both cars were again photographed together in Sedona and appear in the Christmas issue of the Robb Report.
