0:56 Applying the Mod Podge after 'fast-motion' test fitting, explaining the process.
2:35 Actually sticking the piece to the car, explaining the squeegee tool.
4:59 The finished product... the large poster has been successfully applied to the passenger's door 1901 - 1945 panel.
About this project:
"Illustrating the History of Mercedes Benz Through Decoupage" Dave Tobin's W126 Art Car project intends to illustrate the history of Mercedes-Benz through decoupaging all types of Mercedes-Benz related ephemera over every painted surface of this 1990 Mercedes 300 SE sedan.
Materials to be used on the car include original Mercedes-Benz dealer brochures, period print ads from magazines and newspapers, original articles and photos, art plates and other ephemera. He will use only original and authentic pieces from his large collection, NO photocopies. By the time the project is complete, Tobin hopes the car will act as a learning tool where everyone from the casual car enthusiast to the long time Mercedes owner can learn something new about Mercedes-Benz and the cars and other vehicles they've produced for over the past 130 years.

Test driving this great looking 1966 Mercedes W111 250SE Coupe! I call this a '050 white' car in the video... it is actually an Ivory colored car, Mercedes color code 670! The 250 SE is every bit as capable as the 280 SE. If you took a 'blind comparison test' of the two... If you got into a car NOT knowing if it was a 250SE or 280SE, I don't think you could tell a difference!

      This is a 280 E sedan, not a TE (wagon). These sedans were offered through U.S. dealers in ‘82, it was purchased new in the u.s. and is a u.s. spec car, not a grey market import.

The fact that this was one ONE owner car and extremely well cared for, tires less than 6 months old, etc. etc. made it a pretty good deal too. Thanks for watching and good luck on your search!
