To wrap or dip
 
This is a recent internal debate I have been having. I am looking to black out the chrome on my black 507, if I was looking to do just the rear emblems it would be plastidip but the side door Chrome wraps into the door frame (I never really notice before) and I am worried about wear as the door opens and closes, so I am wondering what is the general overall thoughts on the best method to achieve the murdered out look.

I bought an extra grill because originally I was going to do Plastidip. I have used the dip a few times before, I did the emblems on my jeep and Challenger.

I'd dip the rear emblems and wrap the trim.

Yea I guess you just confirmed what I was thinking. Thanks for the response. I was just worried about the conflicting textures. I think I will get the door and window trim wrapped to match the paint as close as possible.

Black wrap and you really won't notice. My last c63 was black and dipped/wrapped and was fine

My chrome surrounds are wrapped. Emblems are plastidipped.

That is looking good. That seems to be the way to go.

Did you wrap the DRLs yourself? I tried but it looks kind of bad up close.

I had my badges and chrome seals dipped over 3 months ago, still looks as good the day it was dipped. No wear from where the door open and closes.

Very happy
