Very nice. I've been thinking about doing mine too. Did you DIY? Or did you have it done?

It doesn't look cheap looking? Especially since it's an AMG?

Oh cool. Maybe I'll give it a shot this weekend then. What about the trim around the windows and the trim on the trunk?

Looking sinister & aggressive. Good job!

The chrome door trim flows very nicely on white cars, I never wanted to black out mine.

On the front grill, did you only paint the chrome parts or did you paint the entire thing?

So did you just tape off the non-chrome parts? How many coats of plastidip did you use?
