Black pearl mod to grill chrome?
Has anyone been able to mod their chrome trip on the front grill to black pearl?
I think that would look awesome. Any thoughts?

My bodyshop is going to plastidip when they fix the bumper on the 19th. However, I was just looking at it and thought, if I could do a black pearl coating to match the L, that would look amazing. And it would be different.

Thanks for the reply. I keep looking at it and just think it would look amazing. I'm just going to have the shop plastidip since they know what they are doing. And it will already be off for the repair.

As far as plastidipping it... You guys mean to take off the cover and go over it right? Since plastidip would usually just cover the entire thing? I just went with the light black tint and did it myself

I would just recommend getting the emblem tinted light black for a steak dark grey look or dark black for a very dark look. You can go the cheap route and buy the wrap yourself off of eBay for like $5 (2 feet by 4 feet) and play with it using a squeegee and heat gun. But if you're a perfectionist, get it professionally done. Just note that it won't be cheap (but it will be perfect).
Or pay like $200 for the one already on eBay that is Pearl black (it doesn't have the clear
Plastic cover). I've also know two people with it complain how it started to come off after a year, just reglue it

I do not unfortunately. Just go ahead and get a can of plastidip from Walmart ($6) and test it out. One coat will keep it very light and leave spray marks like little circles (even if you warm up the can and shake well). Also, keep note that one coat will be harder to take off (so have hydrogen peroxide, lacquer thinner or paint thinner ready). The heavier the coat, the easier it is to peel BUT It will blur out everything.
