How do I get all the chrome trim pieces black?

Looking for the longest lasting and best looking. Not sure if I want gloss or flat black....

Other than painting, I chose to wrap the chrome on my car with 3m Black metallic vinyl. I'ts been on since March. Check out this thread. My car is on it. I could take some more pics if you want.

Your pictures were ones I was already looking at. Your car is clean. Good work to have a nice look. I don't have the first clue on vinal wraps. Close up pictures would be awesome.

I'm getting mine washed on Tuesday and hopefully my DriveBright DRL's will magically install themselves over the weekend. If not I will have to end up doing it in Monday.

Plastidip! YouTube plastidip for chrome trim. It is ridiculously easy to apply, lasts forever, but is crazy easy to remove should you want to. Best of all, it will always be your cheapest option. You can do matte black, or if you like you can buy a can of glossifier and make it shine any time after that.

The longest lasting and best looking is going to be to have it painted and clear coated. If prepped and painted correctly, it will last as long as the paint on the car and it's going to look great. The downside is that if you don't paint, it's going to cost a bit to have it done by someone else. But longest lasting and best looking are generally on the opposite side of the spectrum from cheap.

If you go plastidip, just make sure you put it on thick enough. Nothing like trying to peel it off later when it's too thin and keeps coming off in small chunks. I know from experience.
