For a Mercedes Benz W108 sedan:

Thanks!

Well, if chrome trimmings are in tip top condition, nothing beats a black merc.

White works well as well (lotsa 'w's there hehe)...

I'd stick to those 2 only... For big benzes, black is unquestionable hehe.

With my detailing skills, black is out of the question. hehehe. Not very enthusiastic about white either as that is the W126's color (white on gray)

The W123 is painted the same dark blue as the current Toyota Corolla Altis.

Still debating whether to go mono or two tone (between body and roof).

All inputs are appreciated. Thanks!

Btw theveed, ganda ng clean up job na ginawa ng Big Bert's dun sa Picanto after I had the power locks and alarm installed. Ok din yung etching. Umorder na ko para dun sa W123.

Oops, OT.

Ah kumuha ka Picanto? ayus ah..

As for the Benz, gagamitin mo ba lagi? Patopcoat mo ng whatever is the hardest clearcoat your painter has para menos swirls kung itim...

The contrast of chrome and black is simply too gorgeous...

Alam mo naman ang mga restoration projects namin parating low budget. Ewan ko kung ok ang pintor. hehehe. Yung in-house lang ng Sunshine Motors. Mukhang magagamit lagi kasi diesel (matipid).

Ito lang W123 kahit coding walang pahinga. Tatlo-tatlo kaming nag-uunahan.

Btw, kina-commander ang Picanto. Kaya lang medyo no-read, no-write pagdating sa sasakyan. Kaya ako din gumagamit. :D

Doc, maganda yung black sa Merc, like what veed said get the hardest clearcoat to minimize swirls.

Kung tamad mag detail, go silver or white. But black talaga ang bagay :D

**Chip** · February 16th, 2006 08:47 PM

sarap ng problema mo Otep

partial ako to white :D
but since sawa ka na sa white and mahirap i-maintain ang black.. silver

**NazQ** · February 16th, 2006 08:50 PM

silver, easy maintenance. black, looks better.

**hotwheels** · February 16th, 2006 09:51 PM

Black is the best color for MB, very formal and elegant. professional pa ang dating.

**wren** · February 16th, 2006 10:01 PM

for that particular car, black would be my choice. pero pareho yata tayo ng detailing skills, so silver na lang (mono), it would still look nice, tsaka hindi pa masyadong miinit.

**the_wildthing** · February 17th, 2006 02:08 AM

Pale green/olive?

Pero hindi, black talaga pag ganyan kaluma. Elegante.

Of course you must complete the look with a bowler hat and that era's suit style.

German cars always look great with silver

**spearhead_970** · February 17th, 2006 03:39 AM

Black is perfect!

**silverbx986** · February 17th, 2006 04:45 AM

**gwapito69** · February 17th, 2006 07:40 AM

**nugundam93** · February 17th, 2006 07:57 AM

black din :D

pero since otep's not too keen on black, a nice shiny silver will defintely look good :D

**artpogi** · February 17th, 2006 08:15 AM
