Dashboard needs to be re-painted

[Kal86]

Anyone know of a reputable auto trimmer around Midrand/JHB who could have a look at the dashboard on my SLK? About 3 years ago the paint started chipping off (common problem with the R170 model) and I had it sorted out, but it has started its nonsense again much to my dismay and irritation.

Not looking for the best price just that the job gets done and done properly. Phoned some guys who just want to 'paint' straight over the existing tan colour without even prepping the surface...FFS! Not even going to go the route of contacting a dealership for this.

Please post pix of car and dashboard ... I'm just curious why this is happening on a high-end car.

Will take some pics during the course of today and post them. Apparently it was a manufacturing fault (not priming the dashboards properly before being sprayed) certain models that were very badly affected got the dashboard swapped out by Mercedes Benz, my problem only occured way out of warranty unfortunately.

I actually had the same issue with my Astra, luckily only on the centre console. Just bought a new one on eBay from the UK.
