But this Merc from the Cult Car Parade (first big Euro show of the season) is awesome!

LOL, nice paint work there

penski · 23 Apr 2006 at 09:17

The paint is fantastic...I think it's brushwork as opposed to airbrush for the majority of the detailing...

Nice paintwork, but you cant see the real rust when that starts coming through

Most the car is painted in the rust effect

I have a LOT of respect for the effort and skill that has gone into painting that, but its definately not my cup of tea.

Wish I had airbrush/brush skills like that for painting my RC shells

Some may remember me posting pics of a satin black Passat with uber-stretched tyres on Merc Carlsson rims a while back...

It's now the sister car to the Merc:

Check the details - panniers, handlebars and iron cross mirrors. Wootypwns.

That's clever paint work, vile... but very clever

Not sure if I should like that or hate it

KizZ · 23 Apr 2006 at 09:46

Looks nice

Mercedes looks awesome, love the style of it. Black grille looks mean as hell

kippermitten · 23 Apr 2006 at 09:49

:Sighs: - I did a tiny sex weh after seeing that Merc! Fantastic stuff, almost mad max stylee without the shredded body work and large man in a mask with a three pronged harpoon gun!
Im really liking that Euro look on the wheels and tyres, I can just see a Mini with wheels in that style and yes I know the body work will look after the rust all by itself!

Man I hate it when I get rusting plastic

The S Class is one of the finest saloons in the world.

Why couldn't he have instead butchered a C Class?

burns · 23 Apr 2006 at 10:16

I hate it personaly. It just looks really lame, since when has rust been flat and shiney? Other than the paint job they both look pretty cool, but I prefered the satin black.

Andybtsn · 23 Apr 2006 at 10:18

That Merc has to be on air ride surely?

I can see it being hard to steer!
