Mercedes 300SD Interior is Color Matched

Brian F. decided to replace the console and door panels of his 1985 Mercedes 300SD. He found parts in great condition, but they were tan, and his interior is black. After researching, Brian learned about ColorBond LVP in Mercedes OEM correct colors and decided to paint the tan pieces to match his interior. Four cans of Anthracite #349 were used to paint the door panels and console at a cost of less than $100.00. Before painting Brian used ColorBond Prep Cleaner, as proper surface preparation is the key to a durable, long-lasting finish. Brian exclaims: “ColorBond worked wonders on these door panels and console! Many people have asked me when (and from where) did I buy brand new parts! Fantastic product!”.

Mercedes E320 Headrest Color Changed

Bill F. purchased a 2001 Mercedes E320 wagon in great condition, but the three headrests on the rear seat were missing. It seems owners sometimes remove them for better rearward visibility, and in this case, they were and got lost before the car was sold to Bill. Wanting to replace the headrests, he contacted a Mercedes dealer and learned they cost $1,400! Bill decided that was way too much money for new headrests and found a used set online that was in excellent condition for $65.00. Like Brian, he needed to completely change the color of the parts as the headrests were black, and his interior is gray. He began looking into the best way to change the color of the headrests when a trusted friend in the automotive industry told him about ColorBond.

Bill was happy that the job took less than an hour to complete. Before painting, he cleaned the headrests with rubbing alcohol. “There were no globs of paint or spots of varying finish. They looked exactly like the front headrests. I can’t tell the difference and I’m fussy. I’d call it amazing” says Bill. Only one can of ColorBond LVP in Mercedes Crystal Grey was needed. Added together, the $65.00 headrests and the $23.35 paint came to $88.35. Compare that to $1,400.00 for new headrests.
