where did you get that stuff and how doe sit go on...? i cant really tell from the pics but does it turn out nicely? di dyou just cut the pieces and it has like an adhesive on it? my black part is starting to fade a lil and im wondering if i could just use this on it. i dont wanna black the whole thing thou.... thanks!

For those who do not want to use adhesive tape...there is a company that you can buy your own spray can in whatever color you want. They have all the stock colors for mbz. I checked for about 10 minutes trying to find the site, but was unable to find it. I will be able to tell anyone who is interested by emailing me. Just another way to get your grill to matchyour car instead of using a 2 dollar can of black paint that doesn't match perfectly.

well i got the stuff at "hobby center" they got alot of types of vynil ... i chose the glossy black cause it matched the black on my grill its easy to instal u just need to clean the crome inserts very well with amonia based cleaner (glass cleaner will work fine) cut the vynil into strips and apply but it takes a while to get all the bubbles out.... i thought is better to use vynil cause paint will eventually chip of from the weather and getting it done proffessionaly is expensive... the whole thing took 30mins and 5$ of vynil....:D

JRE320 also knows of a source of MB Paint by the spray can.

Looks good thinking of blaking out my grill too.

any updates on this spraypaint that matches the car color?

how do you go about getting bubbles out of vinyl in general?

[alhacker]

i usually use amonia cleaner and try smoothing it out as possible but some bubbles just don't go out.... i use a surgicale needle then ....
