Ha, yes. I had mine renovated by DynoTorque for, if memory serves, three and a half grand.
The coating on these is, as you surmise, total crap. In my case the part was NLA from Mercedes, but it would be far cheaper and more straightforward for you if you can just buy the part, or go to one of the specialist Mercedes breakers. My car was rare (sub 50 in the UK) which made that problematic.
