NJ | 330 · 05-07-2013, 02:13 AM

has anyone tried to paint the chrome to gunmetal? i think this would look pretty nice on a monaco blue with gunmetal rims. if not i was thinking about doing it maybe in a few days

That's what I was thinking about doing. Just never got around to it..

And if I didn't like it, I can just take it off..

Yeah but I'm talking about actual paint. I saw the plastidip and it just didn't pop for me.

I have monaco blue w/ gunmetal rims, but dont think the trim would look good. why would you want the window trim to pop anyway

window trim should match the tint you put on the windows..

Well doesn't the chrome pop out to begin with? Having everything black on Monaco blue to begin with make the car way to dark imo I'm getting 35% tint and gunmetal rims and I don't think it would look bad at all.
