Good to know! Hey did you plastidip your chrome window trim?
Yes I did the window trim also. Night and day difference
That looks amazing. How hard were the chrome window trims to remove?

I'm actually thinking of taking them off and getting them painted gloss black professionally but don't know how much effort it takes to take those trims off. I heard the front windows are tough?

Looks good. I'd black out that middle satin chrome piece as well along with the kidney grills. It looks out of place now.

Yeah, I will plastidip that. It doesn't come off I don't think so I would have to cover other areas well. Will definitely replace kidney grille with gloss black.

Use painters tape and just outline the trim, spray a few coats allowing it to dry for a few minutes at a time and then peel off the tape.
