I would just take it to the bodyshop. MB dealerships outsource to local body shop anyway, so why give them money to be the middle man?

Your whole hood would probably need to be painted on / mixed in so it should run you around $400.

If you have a simple paint chip with a little metal pitting, you may want to try your hand at using touch up paint. If not, there are tons of chip/dent repair companies around that should be faster and cheaper than most body shops.
