Should bumper cover be painted before or after?
 

Front bumper cover got cracked. I want to do most of the work myself except the painting. Do you paint it before or after installation? Thanks.

Some of the bumper cover lip hides flush with the rest of the front body cladding. Paint will find its way there, but it's best to paint before install.

My ML came with the gray body cladding and I had them paint it body color prior to delivery...

...the body shop had painted all of the panels while off the vehicle.

Anyone know the part number and price for a front bumper cover for a 2002 E55. The AMG part number is B6 603 6041 with headlamp washers. But I don't need the Fog Lamps that come with that. Just need the front cover.
