Best way to make chrome pieces black/Spoiler black?

Hey guys new member here, I've always been a fan of reading all of your posts though. I am getting my new C300 this week and I went for all the goodies /premium/multi/lighting/sport/spoilers/pano/etc but this is my first white car and I want to keep the white/black color through out the car and was wondering whats the best route for making chrome pieces black? Vinyl Wraps / paints / whatever. I love what some of you guys have done so I am open for all ideas. Thanks!

I had my chrome trim wrapped in gloss black. I post some pics once it's all cleaned up.

Google Plastidip, and if you're the artist type you can do it yourself. Otherwise there are many plastidip resellers who will do it for you. I too wish they didn't do the Chrome accents.

Second on the plastidip solution. It is really easy to DIY and if you mess up it is totally removable.
