Window Trim Wrap

Prosafary · 08-03-2015, 12:29 AM

So I have a stainless steel window trim for my 328i and I want to vinyl wrap it black but is it gloss black or matte black for the OEM black? I can't tell from pictures and by looking. From what I've read, it seems like the OEM black trim is gloss black right? Just wanted to double check with you guys.

You're right, its gloss black.

I'm about to do the same thing. What size vinyl would you recommend getting?

Have u checked with a shop to paint it nicely?
For my e93 a very good paint shop quoted $400, e93 has got a lot of extra area to paint.

You can also use plastidip and apply a glossifer to make the finish shiny.

This is what I did.

The vinyl isn't very easy to work with.

I used plastidip on my old e46 window trim and it looked fine. I just thought it might look better and be worth a shot trying to wrap it this time on the e90.
