Blacking out some Chrome

[Myde]

Hey guys,

So today after work I brought Franky into the shop and did some minor work on his exterior. I am not a fan of chrome so I decided to black it out. Had been debating between Gloss black trim paint, Matte black trim paint, Satin trim paint and then a metallic paint. After bickering with myself for a bit, I painted it Metallic black, and I used one of Nissan's paint codes, G41.

What do you guys think?

Nice job on the painting, looking good.

I went with matte black plasti dip for my front grill, rear emblem and the emblem on the steering wheel. Im still very happy with it.

I hadn't even thought of doing the one inside, is it easily removable?

That is a lot of work for the small badge. Hmmmm... May or may not do that. Thanks for the link to your instructions though, will look back on it if I decide to.

Im pretty happy with the result. If the chrome badge is bugging you... its worth the effort

Looks awesome! But, your car is grey!?!?! I didn't know they made grey cars, I thought all cars were black... hmmmm... just kidding

I did mine with plastidip... masking the front grill is quite a job...

I agree with the masking part. I didn't even bother with trying to tape off inside the badge, so it is a lil metallicy in the gaps of the Nissan Badge.
As for preference wise, I would much rather a metallic or gloss that I can power polish or paint repair later on. Oh, and no offense intended but I find Plastidip looks, cheap, in my opinion.

Yeah it looks a bit cheap that's why I got the glossifier, but I kind of like the matte finish on logos and badges. At first I was going to buy a Dupli-Color Black Chrome kit from Canadian Tire (http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/du...-0477524p.html) My main concern was that if I don't like it (or do a bad job) and used paint it would destroy the chrome.
