    Hi,

    I am looking at getting the chrome trim around my windows and grill either wrapped or sprayed black. Has anyone done this or would recommend wrapping or spraying?

    Also the interior inserts are silver and was looking at doing similar to them.

    Any pictures of these mods would be great or just advice. I.e. which would give a better finish?

    Lastly, my A4 B7 Saloon is red and have seen some with black roofs..... what do you rekon?

    Cheers in advance.

    Just got a quote to spray the chrome trim on my car (window trim - front grill & boot lip).

    Just after opinions on Matt or gloss finish?

    The roof will be sprayed gloss black

    Thanks in advance.

    It's been covered many times, but regarding your last post, Gloss unless you have anything else done matt like wheels or something that can go with the theme of matt.
