On my E320, I have those front & rear spoilers and the very bottom side molding that is a dark grey. I believe the spoilers are made of plastic and the sides I am not sure of... How would be the best way to paint these things? I was thinking of removing the spoilers, and getting that aeresol paint from MB, since that would be the match. BTW: my car is black 040, so I don't think you could notice a big diffrence if there was a little more lemon peel or not... Does that aeresol paint form MB have a good consistency and does it spray even? I would like any remarks and/ or suggestions before I attempt this! Thanks

Well if it was me, I would take it to a shop and have them spray it. I would just take the parts there, and spend the money for them to paint it.
If you aren't very good with a spray can, you can easily produce overspray and or drips from too much paint.
If you are going to paint it yourself, I would recommend cleaning it thoroughly, priming it, wet sanding it, painting it, and wetsanding it again, and painting it several coats of black, wetsanding in between each coat, smoothing out the orange peel.
But since I am not that handy with a spray can, I'd leave it up to the pros at the local bodyshop to do for me.
