You're right, I already scratched the other lower side back in 2006 after I had just gotten the 07 model! There was a concrete (perpendicular) parking strip at the head of my parking spot, and it was too high for the SLK!

May seem like a silly question, but can I get step-by-step instructions and list of supplies I need?

Any suggestions for brands and products? Is this going to be a spray-paint can?

Not a bad idea, I may have to go this route.... as long as it's not rusting away!
