You would need to leave the Parktronic sensors in the bumper, or you would have to find covers for the holes.
Good quality rattle cans (2) would cost about $60-$80 depending on who you get it from. No idea what a shop would charge, but I’ve wondered if it would be pretty cheap if you walked in with it, said “Paint this at your leisure” and asked for a deal with no strings (warranty). Can’t imagine it would be that expensive. If I ever replace the rear bumper on my ML beater truck I may try this. I’ve done rattle cans on a W140 front bumper cover and it turned out well. I’m holding out for the one year anniversary before I do this so I can beat Curley’s bet that I’ll clean it up before that… -D > On Jan 3, 2020, at 3:24 PM, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I found a nice rear bumper cover on CL for $60.
