Matte black vinyl wrap for trunk chrome

I'm looking to wrap the chrome trim on the trunk piece. Anybody have any luck with a certain film? I'm looking to do a matte black on a black car. Links are welcome thank you.

I used the film from shadowlinetrim.com in gloss black. Really easy to do.


I did front grille surround, window trim, roof rails and tailgate trim.

I did plastidip for all the emblems and the truck chrome strip and had the front grill wrapped by a local vinyl shop with 3M gloss black. I think it turned out great.

1 roll of the widest available option (4 inch I think) from shadowlinetrim was enough. I cut it in half to double the lenght.
