I like it, it looks really good. I was thinking about the full chrome delete on my car. The dealer recommended a local shop that can lay stickers on top of it. Is that what you did? What was the 29 hours of paint?

yes… chrome delete was done with high quality gloss black vinyl wrap and light smoke on the brake lights
It was multi-stage polishing to remove any imperfections in the paint… swirls, etc. Mercedes factory black has a lot of imperfections upon close inspection even on a new car.
Mercedes paint/clear coat is very hard. This is a good thing in general, but factory does have some orange peel effect, and the hardness makes it more difficult to "correct." Looks good Doc!

Did they put vinyl on the distronic piece in the grill? Have a shop saying they cannot apply vinyl because the sensor will not work properly. Trying to figure out a workaround.

It looks amazing, now you need to protect that shine, use Stek clear PPF and Geon's PPF ceramic coating and you’re good to go.
BTW I would have either painted everything or used black PPF from Stek, vinyl won't last, trust me plus the orange peel is horrible and small rocks will go through.
