I have the very unfortunate need to have some body work done (hail, HAIL, BIG F'ING HAIL!).

So - while it is in there getting fixed, they could easily paint the chrome strip on the trunk. They would strip the chrome and paint to match.

Who has done this? (I know I have read several posts, but cannot locate now) - looking for OB or Malbec Black. Pics?

Let me know! Thanks in advance..

 

i'm sure that you could paint anything...and i'm sure that it would look great. all about what you want.

post pics if you decide to do it.

 

That would look nice in Malbec. Have you considered the OEM trunk spoiler (not the lifted wing) that would look pretty nice on your Malbec G too IMO. BTW, so sorry to hear about your hail damage, damn you haven't even broken in the car yet

 

Tell me about it - just 3 months old....back window shattered, and about 20-30 dents in hood/roof/trunk. Been here for 5 years...1st time it has happened to me. State Farm (and many other agencies) now have it classified as a catastrophe. I just want it fixed right - and soon. Scheduled to go in on Tues...

 

new glass yesterday...

 

Is the chrome tip metal or plastic?

It may be better just Plastidip it than strip the chrome and repaint. You can remove the coating if you don't like it.

 

WOW. This looks like you were in the middle of a gang shootout.

 

its been done before. i wanna do mine. the body shop will take car of it.

if you wanna do it yourself make sure you sand it down and prime it first

 

Here(dont mind my car sitting mexiflush, i took the pics for Raul cause he didnt believe me I mounted the DPE's yet before I did my suspension

 

Thanks for the pic - nice, I like it...

 

Yeah - except it was baseball size hail. Could not believe my eyes...

Last May - similar storm but I was home - took out my roof.

Got to love DFW weather!

 

Holy cow!!!!

 

i personally like that chrome piece, i know others do not....

 

I too like the chrome piece. It seems to fit into the designers’ intent for a classy look. If you paint over it so it blends in, it will still be there serving no purpose at all.

 

Looks like you have a big claim...$9,000 or $10,000.............
