R56 Black out Options
Black out Options
So while I wait for my 13 Spice Orange MCS w/ black top, black headlight housings and wheels to ship, I'm building up my mod list.
Within that is getting rid of the chrome.
Reading through searched posts etc it seems there is a few different options for blacking out chrome pieces; Plastidip, Vinyl, painted, etc.
I would like to keep an OEM look (glossy) and can stand the test of time so Im not sure the above options would be the best save from getting professionally painted, so in my search I found the Gloss Black Grill surround and Headlight surrounds on outmotoring but it appears thats all they carry. They don't have gloss black taillight surrounds, gas cap, headlight washer flaps etc.
Does anyone know sites that I can order these pieces from that will all match?
I'm not totally opposed but it seems plastidip might be my only option to have everything match.

I'm selling a set "front and rear" for 90 but they are flat blk custom painted but I can add clear coat to give you that shine, if your interested? I posted them in the market place if you want to see how they look as of now?
