Hi,
I have one W212 that needs a new headlight washer cover (obsidian black) and one W212 that needs a front driver's side sill/jack point cover (palladium silver). I can't seem to find the parts on eBay (used), which would be the ideal/least hassle scenario.
MB sell these parts with just primer on, ready to paint.
The black W212 arguably needs a bumper respray/fix up anyway (I'll give it a go with my DA first) - but I'm wondering the best way to get these painted and clear coated?
Do you just grab the paint with the paint code and a can of clear coat (where should I order these from if so?) and have a go yourself, slowly giving them a few coats? Anyone tried this and made a has of it?
Or do you take the little parts to a paint shop and give them a couple of quid to spray and clear coat for you? I don't know any shops that I trust in my area (for these points or for bumper resprays/repair work), other than going off google recommendations.
Cheers
