Lol, it's holding great. At first I used window tint, but didn't like the way it came out. Then I tried the pre-cut film they have on eBay and it turned out pretty good. What scratches are you talkin about?

Thanks pal. I used brush on caliper paint kit. Was thinking about powdercoating first, but since you have to disassembly the whole caliper, rebuild it with new parts when done, i decided to try the paint first. It came up pretty well and i still have the option to powdercoat. Maybe the spray can make the finish smoother, but this should hold on longer. I think M-benz did use spray paint for his calipers.

Hey dr_npz, how did you paint the side moldings black? did you take it off and paint the chrome? or did you mask off the car and paint it? If you took it off, how did you take off the bumper chrome and door panel chrome?

just let your bodyshop do it. Its not a DIY job, and the paint should match the bodycolor perfectly. But what i did, i took the chrome strips from the front bumper off, but you need to take the front bumper off first. Side mouldings were painted with the chrome strips on but you need to take them off and i needed to paint the whole bumper, so there were the strips left on.
But i guess any good bodyshop should do this without any problems.

Since my buddy owns the bodyshop, he painted the trim with the front headlights, front grill and window trim for EUR 80 - around 110 bucks.
I think that you should pay around 100 just for the trim, including the window trim.

I am not sure how the tint will look just on the rear windows. I see that you are from Europe as well, so you know how cops feel about tinting the front windows.
