painting...

Hey everyone...


For those of you painting the impact strips yourselves...

Where did you get the color match paint?

Special place or your local hardware store?

Also- Did you guys paint a clear poly over?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

-Thanks
Charles

Charles,

I got my paint at www.paintscratch.com I have used them for a few cars now with excellent results. I used their paint pen to touch up some chips on my C230 and it matched perfectly. I was going to use them to paint my impact strips, but since my car is going into the body shop for repair this week, I am going to have them paint them. Yes, use their clear coat as well.

So I read this entire thread (kinda) and dont think i saw the answer to my question...

Are the impact strips compatible for C55's? If im correct, C55 has a CLK bumper right?

You require to order impact strips for the C55 specifically. It has a wider nose & they are longer than the standard sedan. They might be the same as the CLK as the nose of the C55 is modelled on the CLK. I would order them specifically for the C55. Remember they are available with & without Parktronic sensors.

Please also note that later models do not have removeable impact strips. The front & rear bumpers are one peice moldings.
