Wrapped my spare tire cover in 3M Satin black and it made world of difference

I have a 2011 G55 (34K miles) with factory Black out package, however for some reason spare tire cover was in chrome. I am not a fan of chrome and it has been bugging me like crazy so I got 3M wrap (https://www.ebay.com/itm/163910650677) and had it done last evening. The difference is huge. Just love, love the new look and it really completes the Black out package that truck has

Looks great - reason enough to spec the night package on current models.

2016 G550. Bone stock.

Just curious, what did you guys pay for the wrap job labor, or did you DIY?

I had my body shop friend do it for me. But it's not that hard with the heat gun

I'm going to attempt to DIY wrap my spare cover. Never done it before. Anyone know of a good instructional video?

I did basically the same thing on my '22 C-Class, I just went with the regular black and it looks pretty sharp, the satin finish probably gives it a bit more depth though.
