DIY removing the front bumper cover?

Hi List-
Working on a 99 SL500-
I'm looking at having the front bumper cover replaced- The dealer I bought it from, another state, had me get a bid and sent me a check to have it done. That's a good dealer !
I do a bit of stuff on cars on my own, and enjoy it-
Are there instructions or guidence that can show me how to remove the front bumper cover. I see ones ( claim new OEM ) on Ebay for like 500 bucks. HMM. The MB dealer wanted 1370.
if I get that one AND can remove and replace the old one, I can have a local shop paint it and reinstall it myself, saving enough clams to add towards a new set of tires or whatever.
Anyone have experience with buying one ( primed ready to paint) on Ebay
AND can a backyard mechanic do the work- ME ! ?
Skill Level: I don't do brakes, but have on other cars in the past, change generators, rebuild old carbs, replace fuel pumps, mostly old antique stuff.
A bit limited on tools but get by, more time than money !
Thanks for any pointers etc.
