StarParts are a separate product line that Mercedes came up with to continue to provide maintenance parts for older models. For example, if you go to a dealer to buy an oil filter for a car with an M112, you can’t get an “official” MB part - that’s a “gray box” part. You’ll get a StarPart filter

It’s just cosmetics on this chassis, has nothing to do with performance. Purely a marketing ploy to draw in those who would otherwise go to eBay and buy an AMG badge for the trunk. Not a bad looking car, though, if you’re looking for a nice V8 sedan of this vintage. -D > On Apr 29, 2020, at

Unlike sand sprayed with compressed air, which makes silicosis laden air and a health hazard, Dustless does not produce that. The glass particles along with the removed paint is best handled by laying down a cheap "one use tarp" and weight or tape down the edges. When the car or item is stripped,

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1963 Mercedes Benz 220E

If you had a car or whatever item that was properly prepped I can see it being a hella labor saving operation. Yes, you would have to spray sanding sealer to protect the surfaces, but that’s easily removed as you do the prep. I just wonder who has to clean up all the little piles of crushed bott

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1963 Mercedes Benz 220E

To be honest, while the blaster is awesome I'm not sure how much of a labor saving device it is since you have to seal within 72 hours, then sand before you prime, etc. On Sun, Apr 26, 2020 at 7:27 PM G Mann via Mercedes wrote: > Thanks for asking.. I'm not a franchisee. > > I just like the proc

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1963 Mercedes Benz 220E

Correct. At the end of removal of the paint down to bare metal the whole car is washed down with a hand sprayer using some sort of water based material that neutralizes the bare metal and retards flash rust for about 72 hours, which is time enough to spray on a coat of sealer. Sealer will sand of

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1963 Mercedes Benz 220E

I’ve seen this before. One thing I didn’t catch was that they spray or apply something after blasting to protect the metal, or so it sounds, but I haven’t been able to figure out what. Having that much bare metal exposed is going to be an issue if you don’t have a way to stabilize the surface i

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1963 Mercedes Benz 220E

OOps... forgot to post the dustless blasting video link here is a car with about the same color paint being stripped, to bare metal in less than 1 hour. The windows don't have to come out, chrome can stay in place and not be damaged. Metal is left in near perfect finish to take paint or repairs

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1963 Mercedes Benz 220E

It is a perfect candidate for paint removal to bare metal, door jams and all. If the mechanical bones are truly good, and there is no rust. Followed by a proper repaint in a good solid color that would go with the interior color.. Est: $4,000.00 for repaint [Didn't Mercedes have a nice rich dark bl
