Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C Vehicle respray

What's involved in Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C paint resprays?

If your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C has a peeling clear coat, faded paintwork or you are looking to change the colour of your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C, a partial or full respray will be the best option to bring your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C back to life, or personalise it to your taste.

A vehicle respray is usually undertaken when certain panels are to be painted the same colour as the rest of the car, or the entire Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C is changing colour, although changing colour can be a very in-depth process depending on the level of colour change and the style of paint to be used.


The way a vehicle respray is carried out is determined by the panels requiring a respray, or if your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C is being resprayed completely. If only certain panels are being resprayed, these will either be removed from your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C or masked off to prevent any overspray on non-damaged panels. The panels will then be sanded down before a fresh coat of primer, colour and clear coat are applied, making your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C just like new.

If your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C requires a full respray, it will need to be disassembled before any work is carried out. This includes removing the engine if you are having the engine bay of your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C resprayed in the new colour. Every panel will be sanded down and any dents repaired before a new layer of primer is added to your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C.

Depending on if you are keeping your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C’s original colour, or changing it for something completely different, the new colour will be applied before being covered in a fresh covering of clear coat to keep your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C's new paintwork protected from the elements, as well as looking glossy.

Most specialist body repair shops offer respray services, whether it be for panels or a full vehicle respray on your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C. If you have an older Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C or are looking for a certain finish, a restoration centre will be your best option to have a respray carried out. They will be able to guide you on every step of the process ensuring your Mercedes-Benz 280-500SL/C comes out looking better than new!
