Hello dear MB owners

now before you attack me about searching the form, I did and it was HELPFUL ALOT..

I'm not talking about chrome trim on side doors, that can be removed easily with a tooth floss. which I did and looks even better

I would like to black-wrap (remove?) the chrome around 4 side windows..

any one did that?
pics will definatly help

attached my converted E300 to E63, only chrome needs to be removed...

You forgot to change the fenders to AMG ones? Yea gloss black vinyl wrap would look great

hamooda_47

fenders are to be changed soon, they are still OEM ones..
yea thats what I'm thinking black vinyl or simple black paint

Are you dropping a M156 in there too?

GuestFromTampa

This tape works great, you will need 2 rolls for both sides

The chrome siding on the top of windows are pretty easy to remove. I snapped mine off and plastidipped them black. Used about 5 coats, then just snapped them back on.

The bottom portion of the window is not as easy to remove so I just taped them up and plastidipped.

iPhone pic, but here's a shot for you to get an idea. Finish is a slight matte finish unless you decide to use the glossifier.

I used the tape mentioned above. Turned out pretty well, and really transforms the look of the black on black car with my 35% tint.

Awesome, so the Trimbrite is the way to go? Did it turn out matte or glossy?

Shadowline is the way to go.
Plasti dip looks cheap there.

And shadowline has a matte black or glossy black finishes , pick yours and wrap away.
Had mine (matte) for atleast 2 years if not more.. still looks new like in the day i wrap it.
Good luck

I did trimbrite at first as it's cheaper and easy to use. But I changed all to 3M 1080 gloss black to match the front grill. It just takes a lot of patience and a big roll to do the top trim in one piece. Definitely worth the money and time though

I am confused...are you guys saying Shadowline and TrimBrite are two different brands, or two different methods, or both?

belarus27

Different companies... making similar products.
Except trim brite dont make a glossy one.. just the matte as far i know. Trimbrite is also a bit cheaper than shadowline.
