Re: [MBZ] Sweet Interior

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I've had numerous discussions with paint supply folks about the base coat /
clear coat systems currently being used vs the single stage paint that was
used on Mercedes for decades and the explanation given was this.
"The clear coat acts as a lens that allows sunlight in, which is reflected
by the base coat back through the clear coat, which is reflective on the
back side of its surface, like a mirror. The sunlight energy then bounces
back and forth between the undersurface of the clear coat and the upper
surface of the base coat trapping the radiant sun energy between the two
materials and superheating the clear coat, which causes it to self-destruct.
Which makes sense to me, when I see just how clear coat paint fails rather
quickly in Arizona.
It is a crap system that is impossible to repair without a complete strip
and repaint [in my case, I would only repaint with single stage paint.]

Re: [MBZ] Sweet Interior

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

10 years? Seems like it takes less than that to get the “patina” from the cars 
I’ve seen in northern AZ, but that may be for newer ones with more modern paint 
that doesn’t seem to hold up as well.

You would think that with the progress in materials science there would be some 
developments in a clear coat that had UV resistance???

That is a great example of the "Special Arizona Desert Paint Patina" that

In truth, these cars in driveable shape are getting scarcer and scarcer.

It might, but one would have to want a car like that pretty badly to pay

Re: [MBZ] What?

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

There is nothing special about this car, other than maybe the color.

“Limited Edition” is a marketing ploy that Mercedes has used over the years to 
move old or soon to be outdated models off the sales floor. Put some different 
wheels on it and a piece or two of different trim somewhere on the car.

For example, the 1995 “Limited Edition” 400E I had was different in that it had 
burl instead of zebrano, stainless steel sill plates, and different wheels than 
previous models.

Read the ad and you can see it has some concerning drivetrain issues, too.

I wonder if the heater blower issue is like that on the 115. The blower 
provides air to the windshield but not really to the floor.

I sent this to a buddy who said he tried to buy that boat years ago but 
they didn't want to sell it, so it has been at that boatyard for a long 
time, collecting rent for like 12yr.  He also said he bought a termite 
boat and it was a nightmare. HAHAHAHA
