Mercedes paintwork - is there a problem?
I purchased a three month old E-class 15mths ago. It has developed micro blistering on several panels on taking the car to a Mercedes dealer for checking this problem the body shop manager checked paint thickness on all panels and informed me that one of the panels had been resprayed ( not while I have owned it) Mercedes UK and the Mercedes garage I purchased from deny any knowledge of this respray. can you tell me where I stand with this problem.

What colour? There is definitely a problem with Mars Red on all Mercedes from 2010 and Mercedes is paying for the cars to be stripped back to the metal, properly treated and properly repainted.
