Sprayed my chrome boot trim.

[SmartAmg]

As some of you are probably aware, I've tried to wrap my bl00dy chrome boot trim,
3 times and never been happy with it, the last attempt was probably the best, but still not for me. So I've sprayed it and I'm finally happy with it . I've Sprayed it satin black as opposed to gloss black, as I think it goes on easier, with much less chance of running. But still looks really good .


Pics to follow when back on car.

Looks good Tony, how does it come off ?

I used a small PLASTIC tool specifically for getting trim off, start a one end at the bottom of the trim and quite firmly sprize it off a bit at a time, it's got about 10 clips and a quarter inch of 2 sided tape at the top of the trim. You'll need new tape when refitting it.

Did you manage to salvage all the clips ?

Broke one , but won't matter as the tape holds it in place. Probably more than the clips.

Finally happy with it .


Gonna do the chrome around the DRLs now, when I've got time and I've sussed out how to get them off.
