W212 painted side markers?

Does anyone sell painted side markers for our cars? I have a E63 and those orange side markers look hideous. I saw another white e63 on here with them painted which looked great.

I have read about people finding them on ebay. However, you will run the chance of moisture and condensation problem as faced by another member on this forum.

I had a white E63 with them painted.... works out much better if you just take the car to a local body shop and get them painted in a few hours.

I dont like the ebay ones and dont know of any viable vendors selling them prepainted.

It is better to pay for the oem MB ones (perfect fit unlike those ebay ones) and have those factory code painted by a good bodyshop that preps them right so the bulb does not have to be pulled and the lights do not shine through.

Areuv on these forums owns a MB bodyshop and ordered, painted, and installed mine and they look great. Not sure if he is looking to paint, ship, and sell DIY out of area sets but hit him up and ask him.

Thanks Paul, and I agree ours really came out good, the extra step of sealing them before the base coat was really worth it two fold, first it acts like a wet on wet primer and second it completely keeps any light from emitting from the side marker so everything stays plugged up, I do have a factory pair at the shop if someone really wants them just pm me and we can work something out, I enjoy helping out real Benz enthusiast, also would need the paint code from the door jam

For the E63, MB should make available some kind of orange color, ie, "iridium racing mango" or something like that. That way, people wouldn't have to hassle with trying to match the orange side marker.

I know it’s been a while, but do you happen to have any photos of what this looked on your car?
Just bought an e63 in designo graphite and want to paint the side markers to match.
