Default Black Exterior Trim

I was wondering if anyone had had their plastichrome trim pieces wrapped in piano Black? A place near me offers the option as well as painted calipers and I was hoping someone had some pics of results. Thanks

"Countless".... what a bold term to throw around. I was hoping to see a thread with multiple results in multiple car colors. I also was hoping to see if anyone had found other ways to achieve the same effect. I was looking at red or yellow (I've got a nebula gray is350 f sport)

It looks really good in black, I bet it would look good in white as well.

You asked for someone who had pictures of results which is what that thread exactly has...

Also, there's literally a thread called "Painted Brake Calipers"
