Hey folks, I'm thinking about blacking out some of the chrome on R56 (when weather allows). If you have any pics of your Chili Red MC/MCS with some blacked out chrome, I'd appreciate some photos. Thanks!
I'm totally diggin' the blackout stuff. I'm definitely doing the chrome on the grill and beltline. I might just pasti-dip the head/tail light trim and see if I like it before I do something more permanent.
simply remove the headlight trim rings and spray with Plasti-dip or as I did body color paint. the trim rings are very easy to remove, but be careful the little tabs are easy to break.
the black out on the red looks bitchen! if you look at some pics from AMVIV you'll see quite a few blacked out vehicles. looks much better then the chrome.
Mine looks just like the one above but with a matte black checkerboard roof on black. I color coded the scuttles and gas cap. I'll be doing the door handles soon. I wish I had the aero kit.

What paint are you using to match Chile Red? Or is it plast-dip too? I want to paint the chrome trunklid bar over the license.
