From chrome to black

[DuckKnuckle]

Hey guys,

So in my car's currently stock state, it looks like I either work for the government or I'm an ANC rep :fencelook:

I'd love to replace the chrome kidney grill with a black one (matt, gloss or carbon) and I also want to replace the chrome trim above my doors to black as well.

Is this something that can just be vinyl wrapped, plastidipped or sprayed over?

This is how the car currently looks. Need the chrome gone.

I like the chrome :fencelook:

I say plastidip first and if you happy with how it looks, then spray :thumbs:

The black chrome looks quite good but I'm afraid that it might stand out a bit too much above the doors.

Plastidipping the grill - won't it start to peel off? Will the heat from the engine not affect it?

The biggest part I don't like is the chrome above the doors :yuck:

And the the plastidip can handle the heat from the exhaust? Cos then I'll just buy this and spray everything myself

There's a place 10 minutes from my house that stocks the plastidip. Gonna order it next week and begin spraying :thumbs:

Thanks to all for the help :ty:

 

[Philip Foglar]

Good luck!! Look forward to seeing the results! What's nice is that if you don't like it or get bored with it, just peel it off.

If you looking for a DIY, I did a write up 9 months ago. Plasti dip still looks good!!!
