Blacked out the chrome
I was sick of the oxidisation on the window surround so decided to get them wrapped black. Then got carried away and got the boot strip, front inlets and side chrome bits done too as well as the grill and wheels painted. Looks so much better in my opinion!

I just can't bring myself to tint the windows for that reason.

Tatty, it looks great.
What wrap did you use for the window trim? Gloss black, satin black..etc?

Link doesn't work!
Googled and found this:

They went bust in June apparently...when did you get yours done?
I've approached a couple of car wrapping places to get my chrome bits wrapped, but they've all said it's too small of a job to consider

Check out the Autoflex product. I just sprayed my trim and it’s drying in the garage right now. It’s a UK product that I purchased here in Florida for $130 (it’s gloss black).

Thanks S-Typer
It's Marky btw, or Mark
Do tell if the product you've shown is applied using an air compressor, as you've not shown the top of he can? If a compressor so it will be a little too expensive for me
Will give it a try with plasticote, apparently can be done in situ by using this rather ingenious baloon method

It’s spray cans. No compressor needed.
Plasti Dip- Plasti Coat is ok.. it just doesn’t have a super shiny finish. It’s easy to apply and remove.

Remember to post up pics...did you remove your grills or do it with them fitted?
I can't find the stuff you've listed for sale in the UK...ebay has some of their stone chip products though

This autoflex product has a very glossy finish. It took longer than expected to complete.. but I hope it looks great once all of the masking is taken off.
I’ll take some more pics tomorrow.
