Painting A Classic Car

- Where I'm up to at the moment.
Well this video will show the body and paintwork as it is today the paint work has been cut and buffed and ready to be put back together and polished.
What type of car is this?
This is a 1989 420 SEC V8 Daimler Benz coupe
S Class W126
Derived from the flagship W126 S-Class of the late 1970s, the two-door SECs were uncompromisingly majestic powerhouses with super-confident pillarless styling by Bruno Sacco.
They are not the gas guzzlers they appear, benefiting from Mercedes’ ‘Energy Concept’ programmed that claimed to improve economy by 25% on the big V8s.
Mercedes’ focus was on safety and it pioneered airbags: the driver’s was optional from the start and standard on the 500/560 after the facelift, while the passenger’s became optional in 1988. Traction control was available, along with seatbelt pre-tensioners. Heated and power-adjustable front seats featured, along with a display for the outside temperature and sophisticated cruise control.
Launched as the 380 and 500, the former grew into the 420 and the 560 was added at facelift time in 1985. A few coachbuilders offered convertibles and AMG modified 500SECs: two raced in the 1989 Spa 24 Hours, but neither finished. American versions had huge bumpers, a lot less power and worse fuel consumption, so beware of imports.
The 420 was the rarest, with just 3680 sold, followed by the 380 at 11,267. The 560 sold 28,929 examples, remarkably only just behind the much longer-lived 500 at 30,184, showing that most Mercedes buyers went for the top of the line. Only c6500 of the 500s were built after the 560 was added to the range.

Thanks man and yeah we know this is true
That's great work. That is a mirror shine. 😊😊👋👋❤❤
Thank you 🙂and stay well and safe.
Damn R.K that whip is looking tight ! You can't have a brilliant black paint job like that on anything but a perfect body .Black reveals the smallest imperfections in an instant . You are a master good sir ,that job looks flawless .
Thanks buddy for stopping by and for the comment. To true of a statement. A good finish with this type of work all comes from the bottom up so it's all down to how flat and distortion free you can get the panels and when time allows I will edit the video on how I achieve this type of finish and I think some might be amazed what I use to get it.
@@rolandkeith5322 I am definately interested to see a behind the scenes look at your methods . Tips and tricks from those in the know are invaluable . Looking forward to it .Cheers buddy .
Hi Roley!!!!😊
great colour for the car
Thanks heaps yeah this is the factory colour it's called Blue black so its blue what around 90% black in it .
Just connect with you from flips channel😊
Thanks buddy
duuuuuuuuuuuude, that's looking showroom quality!
Show room ...oh hell no, way way better than that! hahahhaha........... dude I pull competition Trophies on my cars paintwork but it's a passion and in many ways a lost art to get this finish as the products today are designed to push it out the door quick and last around 5 years as they all use bullshit two pack cheap rubbish.
Oh man my dad once had an early 80s c200! Can't beat the look of the older benz! You've done an amazing job with the mirror finish!! Looks amazing.
Thanks Hyder and I hope you have been going well man...drop me an email and fill me in on how things have been.
You really do amazing paint work. 👌

这是什么类型的车？
这是一辆 1989 年 420 SEC V8 戴姆勒奔驰轿跑车
S级W126
Looks epic Mate.
thanks 🙂
You have a very interesting curve shaped garage door. Most of ours in the states are square. Nice job on the car buddy.
Thanks buddy for stopping by and dropping the comment, er- the shaped garage door well this is not the norm over here but this home is of a Spanish design with lots of archways inside and out the place was built way back in the year of 1970 to be exact and there are the odd one similar around here and are ideal for our summers with high roofs and large open rooms. My garage it's self is not a bad size given I have two cars and 3 bikes in it but whats good id that everything is under the main roof structure. plus we have parking for 4 more cars down the driveway so it's not bad at all oh plus the garage is air-conditioned 3 phase power & 15 amp as well as Solar & wind back up to the whole thing as well.
This vehicle is so beautiful! Do you own it? Showroom quality as always!
HI Amy thanks for stopping by and indeed I do own this car and have done for many many years. These cars are branded as one of the best cars ever made but they did not come cheap and by the time you option them to how you want the price tag is even by today's standards very expensive. Mine cost $262,000 before on roads costs so over a quarter of a million back in 1989 with its options. Just a service could equal a persons advantage anual wages if it's a major one on this model as mine has a very high performance engine and transmission factory package but to be in or drive it there is nothing like it hence the cost and the quality of them.
@@rolandkeith5322 WOW!!! That is amazing!!! I can see the love you are putting into this! Thank you for sharing the backstory, I know nothing about this vehicle unless you know of one in the US that would somewhat compare.
@@Amy_McFarland Fully manufactured American cars like GM or Ford and Chrysler were all made to a budget, as the designers ran into the boardroom with there new plans for the next years model and showed their accountants but that's where quality fell off a cliff because the accountants would always come back to the designers with, That's nice, but how can we make it cheaper and go back and design in obsolescence while you are at it......... In contrast the Daimler Benz accountants would say to their designers, This better be good enough as it must last a life time and be designed to not fail plus our type of customers are paying for that.
It's the build budget and the engineering assigned to each part is what separates the German built cars of this time from the American / Japanese / Chino cars. ......... For just an example, In the build budget on a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham the Carburettor cost around at the time $62.00 dollars to Chevrolet for the factory fuel supply. They were cheap mass produced and troublesome built to a budget to service the low income.
On the flip side a 1989 Daimler Benz used a KE-Jetronic delivery injection system ( what you will find in a UE built Airoplane ) basically designed to function from sea level up to the peek of the Swiss mountains and beyond and operate in sub zero temps to the hottest desert in the world costing just over $4,000 in the day. .....Eh the list goes on but you get the idea.
@@rolandkeith5322 well now I can't argue with that! Thank you for taking the time to share this with me!
Well hello the Roland it's been a while since we last spoke 4 years I think 😊
Wow I can't even remember but thanks for stopping by and reminding me. keep well and stay safe.
@@rolandkeith5322 will do Ronald think it was wilkos Livestream we last spoke in
@@thetaeisenberg9902 Aharr yes very cool I remember now. Cool to catch up with you again.
I know how you do this paint thing now on cars! It's called AI car painting. Seen it on TV! So I know it's real! Your not fooling me! 😂 seeing you with a hoodie on, makes me a little jealous. It's about to start boiling here for the next 75 days or so. Shorts and a wife beater is now standard for summer. Enjoy winter
Eh ! give me he heat any day over the cold buddy though over here it's been cold but quite dry like it was many years ago with a fair bit of sun to go with it so I'm quite pleased so far with this winter here but looking forward to the summer. When you say hot just how hot??.
@@rolandkeith5322 Norfolk, VA temp is in Fahrenheit. winter it will be 30 to 45 with occasions or teens over night, but mostly upper 20s is the coldest it gets for a week or two during the winter. then summer is nights mid to low 80s and most days around 90 to 95 and that is most of the 75 days of summer. add humidity, and its just HOT! but then last week of August and it seems to break the heat cycle. then its wonderful till December and you have to put a jacket or hoodie on. coldest month is Feb here. hope that all makes sense.
@@BlakesPipes Yeah that all make sense man so yeah it get hot there mid 90's plus the humidity to go with that well it's makes it a bit to handle. Here and I will convert it into ancient Hebrew for you in winter we go as low as 30f and summer 115.6f Buttttttttt all without much humidity South Australia is the driest state on the world’s driest inhabited continent. With an arid landscape dominated by shrublands and dusty red soils, the twin spectres of drought and bushfire loom large in our collective psyche, an inevitable consequence of living in such a parched climate.
@@rolandkeith5322 sounds like you are kinda like Arizona or New Mexico as far as states that get that hot and little humidity. good to know. i have been looking up why Australia is know for all the wildlife that wants to kill people. snakes, spiders and small angry beasts. even have some birds that have a hate for you guys. Mag pies i think they are called. we have Mocking birds that seem to be aggressive, as they get angry quickly, but not as bad as Magpies i do not think.
