To wrap or dip

This is a recent internal debate I have been having. I am looking to black out the chrome on my black 507, if I was looking to do just the rear emblems it would be plastidip but the side door Chrome wraps into the door frame (I never really notice before) and I am worried about wear as the door opens and closes, so I am wondering what is the general overall thoughts on the best method to achieve the murdered out look.

I bought an extra grill because originally I was going to do Plastidip. I have used the dip a few times before, I did the emblems on my jeep and Challenger.

I'd dip the rear emblems and wrap the trim.

Yea I guess you just confirmed what I was thinking. Thanks for the response. I was just worried about the conflicting textures. I think I will get the door and window trim wrapped to match the paint as close as possible.

That is looking good. That seems to be the way to go.

Did you wrap the DRLs yourself? I tried but it looks kind of bad up close.

I had my badges and chrome seals dipped over 3 months ago, still looks as good the day it was dipped. No wear from where the door open and closes.

Very happy
