Rear roundel blackout

fromkrypton · 02-24-2018, 09:13 PM

Did you guys black out this part or just leave it chrome? If you did black it out how did you do it?

Thanks

Is the original roundel stuck on with double sided tape?

Just painted my rounders with gloss black paint with primer ($5 at lowes). Also did it on my e92. They came out great!!

I am not so versed at DIY projects. Was there a special type of primer and/or paint that you used? I assume you removed the roundels, painted them, replaced the double sided tape, and then reattached the roundels. Is that about right? $230 for a set at IND seems a little high so thinking about DIY even though I don't have the confidence in my abilities lol.

I used IND's instructions on how to remove the roundels, cleaned the adhesive then taped them and cut around it with an exacto knife. I used Krylon colormaxx gloss black paint and primer in one. Did maybe 3 coats. Then peeled off the masking tape before the paint dried. Let it dry over night then added pieces of double sided tape.... push it back in. Done!

Costs were the painters tape and one can which I still have left for about 10 more bmws lol.
