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.
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
