Black Out Trim
Anyone here blacked out their trim? Window trim, badges, grill, and LED DRL is what I am really looking to do.

Not much of a DIY guy (bought Plastidip, didn't work for me, bought Vinyl Tape, didn't work for me.... go figure) and was wondering if anyone has someone or if they are even willing to do it in SoCal.

Thanks in advance.

how come plastidip didn't work? I used it on my trim and it turned out awesome. Just gotta watch when waxing though, getting wax on the plastidip is hard to get off and will turn white.

Did you wrap it yourself or did you have someone do it? Close to LA? I would actually prefer a gloss black to a matte black.

Hi prznskillz,

Do you have any pics to show what you did? Also maybe a number and a name referral I can give them? Also, if you don't mind sharing how much it cost (you can PM if you don't want to post here)

Really appreciate all the help.

I had all of the chrome trims blacked out with gloss black vinyl, except I plasti-dip the chrome trim around my fog lights.

Any pics? I'm trying to decide between

a) Flat Black
b) Gloss Black
c) Carbon Fiber (possibly but not likely)
