Hello guys.
I want to make beltline black(de-chrome) i have already bought all the available black trims..(headlights-taillights trim,air intel grille) but there isnt a black belt line.
The only way to do it besides the DIY(ready cut smps stickers etc) is to visit some wrapping company to do it.Which i DID.
The result its not pefect for 2 reasons.

1.The previews owner most probably tried to dechrome as well and cut JUST a little bit some of the rubbers(lower-upper of the chrome) so when they put the sticker still there is some 0.1mm++ of the nickel trim which i f@@@ hate it. I want it to be PERFECT like it has been done from the factory.
2.Its is almost impossible to make the black sticker thicker than the nickel trim and put the sticker under the rubbers

SO..Solutions?
If i buy them all new and take away the rubbers+caps(1 cap on each side of each trim part) from the trim will i be able to fit again the rubbers on the grill? Because if that is possible i will be able to put(the wrapping company) sticker all over the nickel trim and then the rubbers will be placed over the sticker so nothing will be visible at all and the result will be as pefect as possible.
Or i can even remove all the nicker with some sandpapper or smothing then put a primer and paint them.

If there is ANY other way or ANY shop in the world that sell PERFECT BLACK LINE TRIM im willing to buy a complete set.
I dont care for the cost i just want the job get done PERFECT.

Thank you so much for your time.!

 

Sorry you paid someone to perform that job. With a steady hand, it is very simple.

If you are not happy with the vinyl tape product, you can mask and spray Pastidip. That will cover the chrome pretty well.

 

They calculate the width/height of the tape and cut it in a machine not with hand. You dont have to cut it on there.
Plastidip its a matte solution not a gloss(yes now there is some new plastidip thats gloss(never seen that before anyway) but plastidip will fade out after washing your car because paint cannot be attached on a nickel surface.

The main question is if its possible to remove the rubbers from the nickel and fit them again.
Anyone did that and know if it is possible or not?

 

No, it won't. I PlastiDipped the horrific V shaped chrome grill on a Nissan Juke four years ago and it's still perfectly covered. What I didn't do is respray it after 3 years, so it looks a bit "tired" after all the washes and highway insects.
Still much better though.

 

Actually most people i know that they had plastidip(especially on mini belt)after a few time it fae away)...Might be because of the "old plastidip" and the new products are much better. I would go for the primer+glossy black but glossy black is OUT OF STOCK and plastidip stop the production of it...We dont know even if it would be ever available again.
That sucks.

 

3m Scotchcal black pinstripe tape..I think the size id 5/8..If you want something more permanent.. You have a lot of masking to do..But SEM Trim Black..They make different levels of no gloss to gloss..No primer needed just clean well..

 

I used the Outmotoring tape

yesterday, not bad at all. Just be patient, especially in windshield section
