Blacking out chrome on my Clubman S

These pics aren't the best, but, I've started working on blacking out a lot of the chrome trim on my new 2010 Clubman S.

It is starting to really look nice. I can't stand the cheap-looking chrome. To each his own I guess!

Anyway, I read about Plasti Dip on other sections of NAM. The stuff is pretty cool. it peels RIGHT off! if you mess anything up, off it comes and you start over

Here is a pic of my naked mini! lol. All the trim off



Here is all of the trim ready to be sprayed


And here are some "after" pics. I need to wash my car now and get some "REAL" pictures taken..these were just taken with my iphone heh








I shaved the back too..all except for the "S"... I need to move my S though, it needs to go over to the right a bit more

Very cool.. I love the way it looks! Just my handles and beltline left... I am slightly concerned about removing door handles though

Looks good! Are you going to do the trim lines and handles?
