Default Chrome to Black

Did you do the chrome around the windows? What process did you use to you do it?

I really like the Murdered Out effect.

Haha thanks man! I just did plasti dip around the trim and I kinda wished I would have permanently sprayed it, however you have to be insanely carful with overspray using permanent paint, you would have to basically cover the whole car haha. I taped off my car like this and I just used plasti dip. So I didnt have to deal with taking off the left over dip on my windows and such.

Not necessary at all. If you watch YouTube videos from dipmycar, he doesn't even mask anything off. He just slowly peels it off after.

Haha you can also do that but I just didnt want to deal with taking off all the over spray on the windows and roof... With plasti dip (depending on what your doing) you can get an overspray that is just so light that it doesn't peel off like it would with 4 coats in one section. Any method is fine because at the end of the day its not permanent!
