W126: Car Painting

The W126 was ready to send for painting today. I decided to paint the W126 with the original 2 tone color. Requested to paint the W126 using du Pont paint with Glasurit clear coat. In this article, you will see the overall painting process. It took 2 weeks to complete the entire paint job.
