Why Mercedes decided to have the grilles on this era Mercedes be that ugly chalky grey plastic is one of life's biggest mysteries. It's amazing how much newer these look with the honeycomb painted black.

Keep them updates coming!

I'm thinking about doing the bumpers and side molding this was as well.

what do you think?

The bumpers look like hell since they are faded out anyway

I have zero idea how Plastidip will stick to rough plastic, but since it'll just peel off if you hate it, I can't imagine it would hurt to try. You'll probably want to put it on rather thick so it will peel off the textured plastic of the bumpers and moldings.

On my old truck, I used the Rustoleum Trim & Bumper Paint to clean up the faded trim, and it worked well - the color was very flat, with just the tiniest bit of texture. Like all flat paints, you'll have to be careful with your coverage to keep the texture consistent.

Finally fixed another issue. The driverside window wouldn't roll up. Some of the plastic parts on the original window regulator had perished. So I did what any sensible dude would do, went to the junkyard and picked up a working on for $15. I had to use some fender washers though as I feared the parts would break again with the old plastic parts ready to break.

Now my window rolls up and down. Very happy!
