RDB LA - Mercedes CLS Painted 3 Different Colors
Many of you have seen this vehicle on the internet before, we didnt post it before as we we know it would generate some bad comments. We have decided to release the build process to showcase our detail and quality work only. There will be tons of mixed reviews but we were given the difficult build with strict orders to paint it this way from the customer. We definitely don't like painting cars this scheme but it was done for a special reason for the owner.
The car started off silver.
Then we prepped and painted the center of the vehicle a bright pearl yellow color.
Next up was inside the door jams, which we painted a pearl red color.
Its Purple time!
Here are the red bumpers.
And here are the 3 color wheels which were extremely difficult to do. The results are wicked wheels that have extreme quality and detail work behind them.
And here it is assembled!

Holy hell, that's a rolling catastrophe! I'm sure you made a good chunk of change from this job but some people just need to hear the word "No" once in a while...
Please tell me there's a self destruct button built into this thing somewhere.

Can't wrap my head around it. I can understand some crazy things, individuality and such, but this can't look good in anyones eyes. It looks like a 5yr old designed it. Even the wheels look colored in by the first three washable markers the kid grabbed. Did the customer offer a reason as to why they wanted it this way?
