Painted grill surrounds 2014 ct200h F sport!

Looks good. subtle and high quality. scuffing the little crevices of the grill must be hell. i am sure you did each and every hole on all sides, so the paint wont peel later on. Good work and well worth it. I am thinking of just doing all black in the front and just buying the OEM chrome molding for the bottom. yeah the upper grill surround, i know exactly where it likes to peel , the little inside corners on the upper part. i think those insides need to be tucked and pulled in first then wrap everything else after that. that's what's holding me back from wrapping the grill. i tried it in two pieces on the car before and it didn't look that good and peeled. so i removed it all.

^looks even better. Where did you buy those moldings? Are those an option? (drawing a blank right now)
btw you need to gloss out your mirror triangles, side pillar posts, and windshield posts like i did gloss black. HUGE difference. trim too if you haven't done that.

A buddy of mine did my chrome delete, side pillar posts using the same vivvid wrap. Definitely digging the high gloss, he just had a harder time having it stick compared to 3m/avery despite using the adhesion promoter. I have yet to do the windshield posts and the triangle. I've also sprayed the rear bumper marker/reflector gloss black during the LEDIN/LED marker install

show us how the reflector part came out. i want to do mine too. that mesh looks hard to prep.
and yes vvivid is the only black gloss vinyl i use. 3m is trash. the ones on my mirror still look like paint. going on 2 years now!

Also looks like you did the headlight corners like mine too =P I need to re-do mine cause the CF vinyl (generic chinese) is starting to crack. i think cause there is a void in the headlight.. like a little strip that the vinyl doesn't want to lay into. no biggy the stuff is cheep and i have yard of it.
