Plastidipped the grille

Decided to plastidip the grille to make it look like the Sport grille or now the grille all the 2014 C250 Coupes have instead of paying $350 for an actual grille. Thinking about also dipping the middle part of the bumper.

Note on plastidip: Take off the masking tape when the dip is wet or else it will start to peel off the whole thing

Nice job - looks great!
On my 2014 I am planning to wrap the horizontal chrome part of the grill (black it all out) to give the start that floating appearance...should look cool.

I have considered wrapping the chrome too. I have the Scotchprint 1080 Gloss Black sitting in the garage.

Can you tell us how you did it? Was it difficult? Did you remove anything?

looks great! I'm glad Mercedes decided to black out the aluminium portion of the grille on the 2014 models.
