Reflectors Paint

Anyone know where I can get my side-reflectors painted in the exterior matching color in Southern California (L.A. area preferably)

2012 CLS550 Palladium

Thanks

Sorry I don't have the answer dakrisht for SoCal but am looking at the same issue and have Palladium exterior. I prefer to change out the side markers to clear lenses with amber bulbs as I have before on a prior MB and a Cayenne but there doesn't seem to a vendor yet producing the clear lens to fit the 12 CLS. So considering covering each lens in a light tint or like you paint with matching Palladium color. The MB dealer can likely do this so am checking to see the potential cost there versus another local shop that should be able to do this.

What do you think of the light tint (light smoke color?) versus the paint look? First choice for me is the clear markers but trying to decide on the tint/paint alternative, at least for the time being.

I would just visit any IRP body shop. I'm sure they can match the paint.

You can buy the atuomotive paint online in a spray can to match the car paint here.

If you are just doing the side markers it takes one can and is very easy to do. I will be doing mine this weekend If you like I can post pic's later.
