rite, im not a lover of the chrome on my e30 so wanting to dechrome it. is it a case of pulling it off or is it replaced with something? dont want it looking a bodge. me rear quarter windows are already shadows so whats next?

you can get a de chroming tape that is easier to do than spraying what's left to do in satin black.

try ebay.

what model you got?

Tape sounds like a right epic fail

remove them, sand them primer and satin black

And watch it chip off before your very eyes!

If installed correctly, the black out tape is pretty robust and does look good!

Keep your eyes open, quite a few zoners are using Tape, i've spotted a few at POD last year

using the right stuff works,just super glue the very ends to stop shrinkage.

a lot easier, with no mess.

Posted: **Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:02 pm**

only thing with tape is im about as accurate as a blind darts player.

i might order some and give it a go. how is it attached to the car (the chrome) does it pop off/on?

Replace with shadowline trim?

Only way to do it really, tape shrinks/cracks/looks crap and paint just flakes off regardless of what primer you use

is it easy to replace tho? does all the trim clip on and off? that would be my preferred way of doing it anyway.

Posted: **Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:49 pm**

Yep ,all the trims clip off

Posted: **Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:52 pm**

egsselent

well when i have money i will have to get that sorted. would like it in matte tho but if it chips that easy i wont bother most likely. must get the kidneys done too

cheers all!

Posted: **Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:53 pm**

Chrome is miles cooler than shadowline!

Black kidneys are gay!

Posted: **Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:55 pm**

im bored of my chrome tho, il keep it most likely but want to make it how i like it lol its still on 14" steel wheels at the moment mind.
