How To Clean Rust Spots Off Golf Clubs

Evening All

I have recently considered getting round to getting some pocket-size cosmetic work done on my E320 coupe. In typical W124 fashion the front wings accept slight bubbles on the leading edge a little rust cicatrice above nearside door cladding. The auto is finished in Azurite blueish.

The car does announced to have been painted at some phase earlier past a previous possessor and the nearside quarter console just before information technology meets the door has some kind of hazing in the paint under the clearcoat. The rust spot on hazing is not really visible from over five foot from the car and doesnt detract you from the car.

4 been to a reputable body shop that does prestige cars and have been quoted to repair and paint the effected areas for around £700 inc vat.

What I want to enquire is that is information technology worthwhile? The rust hasnt got worse in the terminal year of ownership just understand it will at some stage.

I understand a respray will improve the looks merely concerned if the paint match will be good which in render might make the car worse than it is but I know the bodyshop does gold work.

I have washed a lot of mechanical work to the car and flew through its last mot with no advisories and i plan to keep the car.

permit me know your thoughts please people

Thank you

Does the quote include a new OE wing?
If not, information technology's steep. And it will probably show up the other older panels.
A quality wing repair (letting in new metal) might be factored in. Unless information technology's well rustproofed from backside rust may appear again all too soon.

Nice colour, Azurite.

The quote doesnt include new wings, it would be to repair the rust and treat information technology then glass fibre the rear of the curvation for preventative purposes. The rust is but surface and is not rot as the wing is still very solid.

The nearside door has a small rust blister to so the near side door and nearside rear quarter panel will be painted to blend the work in.

New wings from MB are £170.00 + VAT each from what i understand.

Azurite is a lovely colour and I simply want to prevent further rust and rot!

There front wings will have rusted right through - this volition get credible as soon every bit you start grinding abroad at the rust bubbles

You lot tin let in a repair section & paint the bottom one-half of the wing, or supervene upon the wings

If you replace the wings you may finish up painting the bonnet likewise as it'south hard to lucifer pigment colour at the boundary of 2 panels. You'll as well need to alloy into the doors

Azurite is not an like shooting fish in a barrel colour to lucifer - at that place are a number of shades and the pigment will accept faded

I'd recommend taking off all the cladding and having a good look at the paint before deciding what to do. Also await at the inner wings underneath the headlights - if they have rotted out y'all'll need to do those at some point. If the wings are coming off, that is the fourth dimension to practice the inner wings

Hullo Nick

Thanks so much for your valuable input, I did have a feeling that the wings might be in a sorry state once the front bumper has been taken off.

I have had a look though, underneath the bumper where information technology meets the wing by the headlights does appear to be solid but with surface rust. The motorcar has had the usual rust/rot repair under the washer bottle and information technology might be correct in saying the front wings may have been repainted at somestage too! As you say it might exist worth replacing the wings with OE quality ones.

In regards to the colour, I idea there might exist different shades. Reminds me of when I had a VW Golf finished in Reflex Silver, theres about 10 unlike shades!

In your experience Nick what would say would be the best selection to go with? Repair or supercede wings and if im getting the nearside door and rear quarter refinished would the lucifer be expert with the other panels?

Thanks once more.

Andy.

If the bodyshop does prestige cars than it shouldn't be a problem matching the color
Ask him if he will give yous a guarantee about the rust coming dorsum in short time
I know information technology might sound silly but if he'south not confident than y'all amend supervene upon the wings which I remember cost effectually £200+vat each

I had a new drivers forepart wing fitted concluding year. It was around £400 including painting, tax etc. 18-carat new MB wing. We had previously repaired the old wing and this had lasted well-nigh 4yrs before breaking through again. There was no problem matching the colour (brilliant silver) but it will need blending. The colour lucifer is dependent on the skill of the painter. The mixing machines tin let for fading/ageing etc so you should get a good result. Whatsoever yous practice lots of protective stuff on the underside is a must.

Thanks again guys for your replys.

Seems there is some mixed reviews, i would be happy if the car was painted and the repair lasted four/v years only also understand the rust could render at whatever moment if not treated!

I will speak with the body shop and ask them almost right match, rust proofing and what kind of guarantee they tin give me.

I have the same dilemma. I too plan on keeping the car and need 2 new front wings. MB have quoted £212 plus vat each. Once this is washed I recall it will makes sense to spray the entire machine.

If the car is a keeper (and W124Ce's volition definately go upward in value in my opinion) I would do the chore properly at this fourth dimension and know if is done properly it won't demand doing again.

I have the same dilemma. I besides program on keeping the car and need two new front wings. MB have quoted £212 plus vat each. One time this is done I call up it will makes sense to spray the unabridged machine.

Why?

IMHO it makes more than sense on a W124 Coupe is to refresh all the suspension bits that make it so prissy to drive

Painting the whole automobile considering you are replacing the wings puts lots of money in the wrong identify. £1k spent on suspension volition give you lot, pro-rata, a much improve auto that one where y'all've spent the same on paint

Cars that have been repainted never look as sharp as ones with original paint, unless you spend £iv-5k on the chore

I've had an 88 300CE for fifteen years now, and had both front wings replaced with genuine ones over the years. My car is nautic blue, a brighter shade of bluish, but I've fortunately had no issues with paint matching. This pic was taken a year ago at its mot, well-nigh iv years after the os wing had been replaced. If you are keeping the car, I wouldn't bother with a brand do and mend, and a full respray hopefully shouldn't be necessary, depending, of course, on the rest of it.

Going through the same trouble with my 124 ,the cost for replacing ii front wings and spraying £800 with none original wings .The problem was getting a pair of original wings .Very lucky to find one on ebay thats original . Then looking now for a mate for it . I have two aftermarket wings as new in the garage to sell as i am not very happy with them ,thickness is downwards on them. My idea was to cut the rust out of original fly and weld in good material from the after market ones...But had no one to accept this on .Then the drivers side A/Thousand wing i do have will be going .I no longer demand drivers side now as i have this new original 1 on the manner.So if anyone wants it cheap i can pop it on the sales department .
