Few questions:

Did you tape up the bumper grilles or paint over and peel after finished? Also how did you manage not to get any overspray on the wheel wells?

How many gallons did you need and what is the original color under the plasti? I bought 2 gallons for my black c63 but I'm not sure if it's enough.

Thanks in advance and you have a great looking cls!

Do they make a bright red (matte finish) Plasti-Dip color?

Go to dipmycar.com they have a bunch of crap on there. They even have sprayers for people who want to spray their entire car. Their videos are also all over YouTube.

I plasti-dipped my side markers.

I removed the all grills, masked off the hood scoop, and covered the wheels.

I used 3 gallons however I felt that it would have turned out phenomenal with 4 so I went ahead and order 5 more and will be doing it over in a month or so.
