James, I would attempt to get a used fender the same color and have a body shop, familiar with MB automobiles, install it. If you cannot find a used fender perhaps the body shop can. A body shop will be hard pressed to duplicate the orange peel finish of the original paint. A high end body shop repainted the quarter panel of our 1992 300CE and the color matches perfectly, but the smooth appearance doesn't match the original paint's texture. Lie on the ground and look up at the paint on a door or fender, and you will see the orange peel factory finish.
