Bye chrome door trim!
Black out tape FTW! Seen Darth post on a thread about black out tape so I went and picked some up. Did exactly what i was looking for. Took my time installing it so I would have the least amount of bubbles possible. All for the cost of about $8 for two rolls which you need. Here is a pic tell me what you think. Taken from my HTC ThunderBolt.

Umm I do not remember the name of the company that made it. But I got it from Pepboys. It's over by the like carbon fiber like wrap stuff. If you ask they should know where to send you. And as for tools all I used was a zacktoe knife and a like plastic ID type thing to push all of the bubbles out.

exacty, I did plasti dip first did not like it. It was not glossy like the tape. And like u said you can't get the inside when to open the doors. Plus it take way more time to tape off your car and spray like 3 coats of paint, and the tape costs less also.

It will last years, I have been using the same stuff since the mid 80's. It is called Black Out tape and is made by Trim Brite the pinstripe company usually in the same area of the store. Pep Boys has it but Auto Zone, Aid and Advance don't carry it any longer. Two rolls should do the whole car. BTW looks good.
