My dad just picked up a 2003 E500 Mercedes Benz. I asked why he would just buy one out of the blue and he said "One time in a mans life, he is allowed to have a brain fart and just buys something hes always wanted"
Its not exactly my first choice of color, I would have opted for a black or maybe a silver, just not this "midnight blue". Anyways Back on topic
He complained alot about the unevenness of the paint so I told him I could fix that. And here is my first panel. I didn't really measure the paint even though I should have but in the end the results were good and this car will only need it once since its going to be his pride and joy and not a DD.
I basically did the one panel with 2000 grit sand paper and polished with my Flex DA with M105 and then with some m205
Before
( different panel but same issue)
and Final
After

Pretty good results in my opinion without going to extreme on the sanding. I plan on doing 2 panels a day til I get it finished so I do not get so worn out and start slacking or cutting corners.
