"I just made sure I turned off the flame, after the water was heated, before I put the parts in so that they wouldn't melt". "I also used my turkey fryer" Brad laughs. Brad found using very hot water loosened the paint and allowed it to be more easily removed, while he used a steamer (like that used to clean drapes) to lift the paint in the nooks and crannies. The first step in the Mercedes SLK 230 interior restoration was to remove the rubber type paint from the hard-plastic dash, console, glovebox and door pulls. The part looks brand new and the grain in the plastic is as defined as without the paint". There was no way to tell it was paint! Then I tested some on part of the Mercedes' dash - again an amazing result. It made the plastic portions of the roof rack look just like new. The paint arrived and I tried it on the roof rack of another of my vehicles. "After talking with ColorBond President Malcolm Johnson I decided to order. "I was immediately intrigued with the color choices offered by ColorBond and that they offered OME correct colors for Mercedes Benz and gave them a call to learn more about the product" says Brad. So, Brad began searching for other interior paints that he could use to refinish the interior himself and came across ColorBond LVP Refinisher. He then contacted some automotive upholstery shops to see if they could restore the interior parts but said no one wanted to touch it. While touch-up kits utilizing this coating are available, Brad thought "Why use the same coating that will flake off once again?". ![]() This condition effects most all Mercedes Benz SLK models. The problem with the peeling is the plastic components were painted with a rubber like coating that is prone to chipping and peeling and revealing the underlying black plastic. Brad says it's time to restore the interior. ![]() The dash, console, glovebox and door pulls are scratched, peeling and unsightly. However, inside the car is showing its age. The Mercedes has always been a great car and looks fantastic on the outside. Brad Streilein's 1998 Mercedes Benz SLK 230 since has been in the family since it was six years old. ![]()
