Default Chrome Trim

Has anyone painted or replaced the chrome around the grill, doors, and emblems? If so what type of paint and how did you prep it?

Anyone use plasti dip?

I'm thinking about painting all the chrome black to match my car.

Just Plast-dip so if you don't like it or sell it in the future you can just peel the dip off.
