Sedan pilots: have any of you Plasti-Dipped your exterior trim? Or re-sprayed them in any way?
I'm seriously considering picking up a can of black Plasti-Dip spray to blackout my upper & lower grilles (the lower one is damn near gray!) & realized my trim could also use a freshening. My concern is that I'm not certain if the trim was ever actually black, but rather just a deep gray.
Does anyone have pictures of (flat) black exterior trim?

Marcus rattle canned his lower grill, and it came out really nice. I don't think you wanna plasti-dip it though....

why not? I agree rattle-canning it would be just as good though...
well, I guess depending on how often you do it it could get pretty thick with plasti-dip, and it would be annoying to try and peel it off the mesh.

I think I still have a regular rattle-can of flat black somewhere . . . I just figured since I'll be Plasti-Dipping the nose grille (after reading you rave about it at Bimmerforums, Ryan!) I might as well do all of the black trim pieces at the same time.
Do you think it wouldn't be a good idea because P-D adds too much thickness? Or is there another concern?

I don't think PD holds up against debris as well as spray paint.

I was actually going to pull mine off and have my paint shop spray them along with some "other parts"I am getting done in the next couple of weeks.
I really have no idea what I am doing

I rattle canned my grill and it looks like new! 3 coats of Plasti-Coat satin is what I used.
