Black Window Trim

Ok, so I know people have done the black out trim tape and also paint method. From their experience, which one would they recommend? I really want to do this, because I want it to match my black painted grill. I'm thinking of doing the paint, just don't have a garage to put the car in to do it. I can do it in my driveway, but I know dust will fly into the paint. I don't mind spending a day just covering the whole car in newspaper.

Go with the tape. Its easy and OEM style.

How did you get it to go around the top curve? Does it last or is it something that needs to get replace often?

Depends on the quality of the product you use. Some of the 3M material is said to be good for 5 years.

Alex used some smoke tint vinyl. I used the TrimBrite stuff. Its actually pretty stretchy and went around the curve nicely.

Nelson, check out 3M Di-Noc vinyl. they have a bunch of youtube video's showing installations and it can be done fairly easily with a heat gun and help.

I know that Dave (striktlyaccord) panted his trim because the vinyl tape didn't come out good and didn't last.

Mine has been going strong for over a year now. If it ever fades, the stuff is cheap enough to reapply.

That'd be the best thing. Makes for easy application.

Thanks Z. I'm going to use the same stuff you used. Seems like it's a cheap and easy thing to do.

I bought a roll of this stuff for $20 to redo the trim on my windows as it was starting to peel.
http://www.bmwshadowline.com/purchase.html
I haven't started the project yet but I'm planning to in the next few days. If it turns out ok I'll black out the chrome on the 8th gen as well.
I'll report back with pics and how much of a PIA it was.
