MERCEDES R107 REPAINT
As the world’s largest and leading Mercedes SL specialist, our team spend a large portion of their working week revitalising any one of the Mercedes R107 models from across the 18 year production period. This process of revitalisation often involves repainting the exterior of the vehicle and can include an entire repaint of every inch of metal, or simply a rear quarter. Depending on the situation, our team will work with you to determine the best course of action to give your car a new lease of life.
WHY SHOULD I REPAINT MY R107?
With values of the R107 soaring to new heights, a well presented exterior could be the difference between your vehicle exceeding market values. Beyond financial purposes, a good quality exterior paintwork is essential to your enjoyment – a scratched, faded or damaged aesthetic will spoil your classic Mercedes ownership experience. Furthermore, repainting your vehicle is an essential way to protect the bodywork from the natural elements. Poor paint only makes it easier for the vehicle to suffer from contaminants.
”No better place to take your SL. Incomparable level of service, knowledge and understanding on R107s and well worth my 100 mile round trip to get my car seen by the experts. And special thanks to Mark for his specific support and communication on my car.”

OUR R107 REPAINT OPTIONS
1. FULL REPAINT: A full repaint enables us to strip the vehicle, tend to any fragile structural areas such as the chassis legs, front cross-member, wheel tubs et al. A full repaint will return your vehicle back to its factory correct condition, with the added protection of our industry leading rust protection products.
2. PARTIAL REPAINT: Our expert paintshop can focus on specific areas to rejuvenate portions of your vehicle that have suffered from paint deterioration. This could be a wing or bonnet. Either way, they will carefully blend existing and new sections for the perfect finish.
3. ISOLATED REPAINT: If your vehicle has suffered from accident damage or corrosion, we will strip, repair and repaint any isolated area at your request.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT:
Any classic car deserves a sparkling exterior. To go hand in hand with your repainted R107 SL, we recommend a detailing session to protect your paint for your first few months on the road.
