Summary
This article outlines Mercedes-Benz's strict refinishing requirements for bumper covers on vehicles equipped with radar-based ADAS systems. It highlights that only specific approved paint codes may be used, limits paint application to a single coat of base and clear for non-approved or special paints, and mandates a radar beam damping diagnosis after painting.
What to do on the job
Verify the vehicle's ADAS build codes, consult the Mercedes-Benz approved paint code list, limit paint application to a single coat of base and clear where required, and perform a radar beam damping diagnosis using XENTRY after painting.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and diagnostic time required to perform the XENTRY radar beam damping test after painting a bumper cover. It also supports the necessity of researching specific paint codes and build codes (such as Code 233, 234, 507, Z01, and Z98) during the estimating phase to ensure refinish compliance and ADAS safety.
