Anyone know how much is it to repaint the front bumper?
My car is fine just that all this snow, rocks, gravel, salt is really killing my front end. I'm most likely going to get the car fully detailed and buffed after winter but i want to get my front bumper repainted. Does anyone know how much it is??? Thank You

sheldon, why dont you just get a new front end while your at it? try to see if ebay/mb classified is selling any amg bumpers for your car.

I live in New York, so those prices may be a little bit higher or lower, depending on where you live.

yes i do know mercedes don't do paint job themselves and they outsource others to do it, but they charge tons as a "middle person". But come on, how do you know the mercedes recommended body shop is good? Just ask around in ur local area and see which body shop does a good work, then sticks with them. I never think Mercedes parts are good quality, actually i think they are pretty crappy especially when it comes to electronics. I paid extra money for buying "Mercedes", Headlight Ballast got burnt in 2 and a half years, and they dont' have a clue on how to fix them unless you pay to check this and that.
Honestly, im tired of Mercedes. Anything that's not covered warranty, no thx im not going back to mercedes. From my experience, Mercedes = rip off, and not "High Quality"

But in any case, it's a good place to start - in terms of looking for a good body shop.

Are the chips really small? If so, just get the auto-pen. It is more accurate than the stupid brush touch up paint things at the dealership.

ya i think i'm gonna check out ebay and other places and see how much i can get a AMG bumper for. I'll also ask around at the different body shops by me. The chips are okay for now but from parkin on campus i have some scuffs there not deep scratches i'm sure they can be buffed out. Once its spring i'll see if i can take them out if not i'll just have the bumper repainted or maybe a AMG or Brabus Style bumper???
