back trim

How does one remove the chrome trim above the trunk?
I want to plasti dip.

Thank you.

K,
I wrapped mine in black vinyl as my car is black. Either wrap or plastidip will be your best bet

You should try wrapping it instead of plasti dipping that piece. Wrap is going to be much easier and nicer than plasti dip, as far as that particular piece goes.

You don't even need to remove the trim.

I haven't done that piece, but click my links below my signature to see how its done.

Just need tape.

Understandable though, I'd be worried about peeling off that matte finish too.

Thank you.
I am plasti dipping in blaze green matte as my car is matte paint from the factory. so vinly gloss will not work, and if i don't like it, i will peel off, the beauty is i can always peel.

Like I said tape around it and you'll be a-ok. Make sure you use good tape though.
