Triple Black is done! Black Grill,badges and more!!

kirillbenz22 · 07-12-2010, 04:09 PM

Well I finely did it Glossy Black matching to the paint black Grill, Mirrors, Mercedes License Plates (they were chrome before you cant really tell because of the lighting on the camera but it still says "Mercedes Benz" in all black and last but not least badges and the chrome stripe in the back is now black.

Some of you might not like the badges all black but when you see it in person you can really see all the M Benz writing on the front badge for example (heat gun) makes the "Mercedes Benz" writing stand out in glossy black. Unfortunately I have a ****y HTC HD2 camera.

What do you guys think?

I like everything but the hood emblem... reminds me of a bad paint job where they didn't bother to remove the emblem first.

The rest looks killer

kevinwithdabenz · 07-12-2010, 06:09 PM

i like the Star blacked out in the back. howd you do it?

tanktube67 · 07-12-2010, 07:36 PM

Looks good, for a complete black out you still have to do the windows trimming and the fog lights housing.

nope all vinyl!

By the way this is for everyone that asks me this question

its all Vinyl nothing is painted! The shop that dose it for me is pricey (i get discounts for the amount of people I bring in) but the reason is they mostly do show room cars for dealerships! Thats it!

I brought them 2 of my friends that own phantoms 4 and 2 door, Saturday I brought them E63 AMG brand new and the new Jaguar XJF or some **** like that its like 525hp i dunno I hate jaguars! lol here is their website.

The hood badge doesn't look good, but everything else looks great! Are you going to do the rest? The fog light trim, window trim, and remove the door trim along the bottom.

Thanks, yours does too. I blacked out my emblems also. For the trunk emblem I used VHT Nightshade tint spray. I went with the tint spray to give it a "black chrome" look. For the hood emblem I used some scraps of tint film I had lying around. It looks like yours. Not the best, but it will due until I find an alternative. Like you I am not an AMG nor do I want to fake the funk. We really don't have too many choices. I also blacked out the chrome shrouds around the fogs...
