W111: Body Restoration (Update 6)

Visited my W111 today. Found that the floorboard of the W111 is fully restored and covered with a layer of anti-rust coat prior applying the primer coat. Meanwhile, En. Naza provided the color chart (also known as color plates) for me to choose for my W111.

Picture 1: Rear seat floor board completed with primer

Picture 2: Front angle look - completed with primer

Picture 3: Rear angle look - completed with primer coating

Picture 4: Trunk area with primer coating after welding & cement

Picture 5: Engine bay completed welding/ cement/ primer coated

Picture 6: Interior floor board completed welding/cement/
antirust coat/ primer

Basically, i would love to put on dark color for my W111, however in view of Malaysia's weather (rain & summer full time) and also due to vintage car that do not drive frequently, i think light color will be ideal. The following is the summary of the colors & some personal comment.

NO    COLOR           PRO                                         CON
1        White                - match to the 60s era           - stain on the car body not easy to remove;
2        Silver                - dust & after rain effect         - make not see the chrome effect easily;
                                     do not see easily
3        Pearl Black       - match to the 60s era            - stain can be spotted easily; may look
                                                                                     like coffin car
4        Sky Blue           - the original color of W111       - not easy to maintain due to solid color;
5        Dark Blue         - eye catchy like this                  - no more classic color look
