Hi guys I wanted to find out if anyone has ever tried this. i was thinking of getting a sign shop to cover the side chrome window trim? thoughts
I know that I have seen people do it just not sure if it is actually removed and painted black of if its vinyl wrap?
any help would be good better then nothing....

Thanks

 

I wrapped mine in matte black vinyl. I did a DIY but if your not good at stuff like that it can be pretty tricky.

 

There's tons of threads out there on this but yes it works. I had mine done and they wrapped on top of the chrome no problems. Some people will say you should paint and some will say go cheap and easy with plastidip. It depends on what you're looking for and what cost.

 

bluebat does not make an overlay for this? he can wrap anything else....

 

i'm getting mine wrapped soon as well. chrome + paint don't go well together; i imagine that they would buff or prime it prior, but...i dunno

 

it's just plastic, not actual chrome, just like the grille. I would say do the vinyl wrap because it would match the door pillars better. The black pillars next to the windows are actually vinyl tape, not painted. I had one replaced.

 

Get it vinyl wrapped, looks great and is easily reversible.

 

I concur, get it vinyl wrapped. Although, most of my friends just get theirs painted. But if it's a lease, or if you grow not to like it you can easily reverse the wrap.

Also, why a "sign shop"?

 

Best best would be a tint shop that does more than tint, for example someone that does racing stripes or other vinyl graphic work. They would have the most balance of working with cars and working with the actual product.

 

Its not plastic.

 

That was my thought I am going to attempt it but if I see I am doing a ****ty job then its going to the sign shop. thanks for all the help.

 

Bringing this thread back from hibernation........anyone willing to share price ranges for wrapping the window trim in vinyl? I'm waiting on a quote now and want to get a baseline to work off of. Thanks.

 

I got my windows trim and the little chrome peice on the trunk wrapped for 150. Shouldnt be much more.

 

i paid 110 for the window trim

 

The Infiniti service manual says it is stainless steel...if it is indeed stainless steel, it can be lightly sanded, primed, and painted with no problem.
