The highly desirable W113 ‘Pagoda’ is now 60 years old. And with this age comes unwavering admiration and desire, pushing values upwards into six figures. As time goes on, many of these vehicles suffer from poor paintwork. Others have been poorly repainted or repainted in wrong, incorrect colour ways. SLSHOP therefore offers a factory correct repaint service to make your Pagoda Mercedes-Benz correct and capable of commanding a higher resale value.

WHY SHOULD I REPAINT MY W113 PAGODA?

There are a variety of motivations for repainting a Pagoda, these could range from a desire to return your car to data card specification, or simply to counteract the impacts of ageing. Whatever the motivations, a repainted Pagoda will be unique, more valuable and more appealing to you as an owner. Furthermore, a repainted Pagoda will be more protected from the elements.

1. FULL REPAINT: We will strip your Pagoda down to its shell, repainting any damaged structural elements such as the inner or outer sills, before carefully preparing your Pagoda for paint. This process is meticulous and structured to ensure that the body, bonnet and hard top are all as good, if not better than factory new. Once repainted, we will apply our industry leading rust protection products.

2. PARTIAL REPAINT: This involves tending to a particular section of a vehicle such as the boot or deck lid. We will repaint these areas to rectify faded or scratched paint, blending the old with new perfectly.

3. ISOLATED REPAINT: If your W113 Pagoda has been damaged or badly repainted following a previous accident over its 60 years on the road, we can target this specific area for you. Once complete, anoraks and enthusiasts won’t be able to spot the repairs or repaint carried out.

Pair a repaint with one of our extensive, expert detailing packages. This further improve the quality and depth of your paintwork, adding an additional layer of protection through the use of special classic Mercedes detailing products.

In the beginning, R107 customers started bringing their 1960s cars to SLSHOP. Following this, we’ve grown into a dedicated workshop specifically for cars of this era. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of Pagodas. Of those, some are here for final touches, some for initial assessment, and everything in between. After all, every Pagoda’s needs are different. And it’s not just SLs in this workshop, either… In addition, we regularly see earlier SLs and all manner of saloons, coupes, and convertibles from this glorious era of style and statement.

So step back in time and browse our 1960s workshop here. Because who doesn’t love eyeing beautiful old cars!
