BRG Blacked out?
Does anyone have any pics of a blacked out BRG MC? I've got one and am thinking of doing it but am concerned about the black contrasting with the green.

Thoughts? Examples?

That looks so fly. Ok I'm sold. I think I'll dip first and if I like it I'll start to vinyl, replace, etc.

Also, viper stripes or traditionals?

Personally I think BRG is too dark to have a nice contrast. Mine was just the opposite :p im whiting it out. White grill surrounds on black grill slats and white viper stripes

I think it looks sharp. Put a dark tint on it and it'll really look mean.

I wouldn't waste your time with plasti-dip. I did it initially and it wasn't long in the elements before it looked like crap.

Thanks. My whole car is plasti-dipped actually. But there are areas of my grille where its chipping and my rear badge is peeling as well. Its held up pretty decent for well over a year though.
