I thought I would ask the learned forum members to advise on the paint question relating to my SL320

 

Having taken advice re the rust on my front wings I will be getting new MB wings but having looked at the car very critically other stone chips and rust spots mean that once you start you are into a complete respray to get a car I would be happy to keep for 10 years etc.

I have checked several bodyshops out and a local firm to me look good having restored an E type. They say they use a paint system called Standox Waterborne paint system (which I had never heard of) with a low bake oven. However checking on Google one US website says that it is approved by MB USA for refinishing works. Mercedes-Benz USA approves Standox paint systems | Search Autoparts

Does anyone here have any knowledge or advice please?

Standox is a very good water borne paint system, I have used it many times

Our local MB dealers send all their cars to an MB approved bodyshop who also use that system. Im not keen on waterbase but then its not appropriate for what I do.

Thanks for that guys. The approved body shop in Merseyside for BMW and Porsche also say they are MB approved so I will tootle down and see what their info and quote is. The local firm gave me a budget of £3000 max (and no VAT)
