Almost finished, hope to get the tampo off the windshield tomorrow.
Next I will be doing a black and then a whited CLK :danbana

Looks fantastic Jeff. Cant wait to see the black and white clks. Did you separate all the parts before removing the tampos. If so, how did you manage to put back the grill and the lights.

Looks darn good :tongue

Winston,
I didn't take anything apart on this one, it was pretty easy to do.
For the grille and rear wing, I used a paint marker to cover up the tampo as it did not come off very well with the NPR.
The marker matched perfectly :happy

Are you just going to strip the tampos or are you changing the interior too?

The interior is so hard to see inside that I will be leaving it alone :giggle

Think of it as a customer car :lol

Cool! :cheers

Jeff,

I will be getting the white one off to you this week, I cannot wait to see the final version when your finished.

:coolpics and great mod!

are you trying to make it look like this:?

That would be sweet, if someone actually did that mod!

 

[hafamaca]

Sexy :cool

Would be even cooler if AUTOart or someone good would make the car

 

[Speedfiend]

Excellent work, MP! :tongue :nicejob

 

[StygianMax]

That's awesome work Jeff! :nicejob :nicejob I'm still trying to clear out the orange paint from some of the deep grooves. I'm finding it a bit challenging to take out the paint from those areas with a Q-Tip.

I am reminded of a story of a General at an Airforce base that didn't like all the grafitti that had been painted by the various units on the large rock formation at the end of the airstrip.

The new Commander of the base didn't know how he was going to remove all the years of paint off of those rocks.

Then a brainstorm hit!

He would simply paint the rocks gray to look like rocks!

The same thing will work here :giggle
All I did was paint the grooves with some silver paint and wipe off the excess:lol

Pretty sly Jeff, pretty sly!

What brand silver paint did you use to colour-match it to the car?

I would love to have AUTOart or even Maisto do this car :tongue :tongue

BTW, I was able to remove all the tampo's from the windows with no problems :danbana :danbana :danbana :danbana

I use a "Sanford" Silver Coat Metallic Marker with a Extra fine point.
Stk. 68820.

This is the best thing I have ever used for detailing interiors and engines in addition to being a perfect match for the CLK DTM silver :cheers

Thanks Jeff. I'll have to see if soem place like Office Depot has that.

Dd you have trouble trying to get the orange paint out from underneath the rear side windows?

 

[JSB 33]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]

Yes, that was the worst area or me :WTF
By using a combination of silver and a bit of black paint I was able to cover just about all of it.

The only way to get this perfect is to take the car apart :cry

 

[StygianMax]

I don't mind taking it apart but I've never had any luck pulling the front end of the car apart. :confused. The rear seems to disassemble easily enough.

Thanks for your pointers Jeff. :cheers
