Workshop Progress Report: Underbody Stone-Chip Protection & Wheel Arch Refinishing PhaseThe technical log documents underbody coating and refinishing progress for the Mercedes Benz 280SL w113 restoration project.Technicians mounted the bodyshell on a rotisserie, masked critical chassis openings, and sealed all panel seams. We covered the underside of the car using modern protective material calibrated to match the texture and consistency of the original factory Mercedes Schutz. Replicating the authentic textured ripple required extensive testing with different pneumatic spray guns and nozzle pressures. Following the underbody application, we painted the wheel arches in the original vehicle body color using the Standox Classic paint system.As always, all restoration photos are available on the Riga Master Workshop website: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/mercedes-benz-280sl-w113-dismantling/
