I have a Black C300 Sport 4MATIC 2008. I am going to get the following modifications done professionally. I am looking to do the following modifications and have a few quick questions.

1.) I am looking to paint the "Non-Chrome" part of the grill Black. As seen in pictures #1 and #2.

2.) I am looking to paint the tail lights to replicate the Barbus style. As seen in pictures #3 and #4.

My two questions are:

1.) What is the Mercedes Benz Color Code to match my Black C300?

2.) How much is a reasonable price (USD) to expect?

 

the tints is cheap but you can do the grill yourself im considering doing this early next week.

 

I think the Brabus doesn't actually paint the tail light, it's a frame that goes around it. Something like this but painted black instead of chrome.

 

check my sig

 

You mean like this on the tail lights?



If yes go to E-bay buy a set of chrome trim, remove said chrome sand prime and paint.

As far as the grill goes check the sticked DIY thread and you will find instructions on how to do it.



CF has been replaced by OEM chrome.

 

Ron, is the CF vinyl? Or actual CF pieces?

 

Real CF, it is a thin laminate. Didn't stand up to well as I didn't seal the edges. Live and Learn. This one came out beter.

 

Ron,

How thin are the chrome taillamp pieces you sanded and repainted? Do they noticeably sit "on top" of the taillamp or seem flat enough to look integrated? Also, were you able to keep the paint from clogging up the small slit vents around the edges?

Thanks!

 

The grill looks good!

 

The chrome trim sits on top thats the only way to describe it. It defintly does not look stock if thats waht you mean. The vents are more than wide enough. To Vixwn thanks it is defintly not pro done but you can't tell that in pics or until you examine REAL close.

 

Well it looks good regardless and only you get that close haha!

 

I'm thinking of vinyl wrapping the grill. Did your CF grill get lots of dings and scratches from rocks?

 

CF no paint yes.
