hey guys, I wanna know what are some methods to have the original chrome pieces such as the front grill and window trims painted into glossy black. I called my paint guy and he told me chrome pieces are not 'paintable' and that I shouldn't go that route.

Why not just tint them dark black.

Vinyl wrap is your best bet, there are many threads on this forum.

I saw on a thread somewhere that some owners that used vinyl to wrap the window trim, were experiencing shrinkage due to the inability to tuck it. Seems like you want a permanent solution, so Plastidip might not be ideal. I wonder why they can't be painted.

plati dip them, easy to spray on, and easy to take off

Take it to a body shop. They will sand and paint. going to cost some $$$$$

Yea I am trying to look into paint tint. But I have no idea where can I get that done here..

I did plastic dip but I couldn't stand it after 2 days because it looks tacky as ****.. Maybe I didn't do too good of a job on it haha

Yeaaaa... That's why I don't wanna go to them haha
