Mauro, one of our paint body technicians here at the Bridge Classic Cars HQ, has been working on our 1987 Mercedes 500SL. Whilst correcting a few areas of bodywork on the car, Mauro noted that some of the paint had begun to peel and bubble from underneath which the team had to address before the car is repainted. Mauro carefully sanded back the grey paintwork to expose the areas before treating them as the car awaits its time in the paintbooth to be refinished.
