Re: 2000 G500 Rear Bumper

Dutch,

Find an automotive paint supply store in your area. Drive your G there and they will shoot the G with their color matching gun and then mix the correct color for you. My local paint store can even put the paint into a spray can for their customers. They will also have the correct clear coat spray.

I have painted several of my bumpers and if you do this and take your time between coat's, it will look fine.

Good luck.

Don't feel too bad Dutch.

As soon as I found out where you damaged your bumper I went out and found the same spot. I think this has the makings of our next Treffen, sponsored by Eurotruck and Gwagen Accessories.


Then I went back the next week with a friend in his LR4.

I damaged my rear bumper in a similar way 2 years ago on the left side and decided I was done with the OEM bumper. Now I have a steel one.

If you repair it yourself as Alan suggested, you can repaint with the factory color.
The dealer sells touch up spray paint that I used on my front bumper after welding on brackets for the license plate holder.
Good match.

Well, it took 6 weeks for the spray paint cans to come from Germany through my local dealer's parts department. US28.00 for a 150 ml spray can. Ouch!
