these guys ship to canada , and will paint it to match your color code
Worth mentioning, my local paint shop (that is repainting a front bumper for one of my AMGs this week) suggests that a flex agent with a finite period of high flexation (I think I just made up that word : ) is normally added to the paint and the bumper must be installed within a certian number of days (to avoid cracking?) .... now this has never been a problem for me (having personally taken the bumpers on and off of 2 of my AMGs to upgrade the heat exchangers) ... but perhaps PPG products (or whatever most shops use these days) are tangibly different than the paint that mercedes used?
best wishes for a speedy recovery

this likely wont help your situation, (but some in the states may find this useful). Recently I bought a used sl55 front bumper from another member. It seemed nice enough, it had no cracks, just a few gouges and many rock chips. but my paint shop said it needed 500-1000 dollars worth of reconditioning (maybe I should look for another paint shop ?: ) ... and then I stumbled into CORONA BUMPER in Santa Clara Ca ... they reconditioned it and left it primed and ready to paint for only $150 ! They also do repairs and supply re manufactured bumpers at reasonable prices.
again Benz addict, sorry for giving you a lead to a company that wasted your time and messed up your opportunity to buy another ... I hope you find a good replacement soon.
best of luck,
Chris
