Great job. I did my father's car a while back, some autosol and some buffing gets it looking nice and shiny again. It does take some time though but well worth it.

thanks for the inspiration and instruction. used your method of taping and wet removal to great effect (used to correct my horrible first attempt). well done on the presentation. the goldilocks approach; not too much, not too little, just right

I had the same on my last car (jag XF), no amount of polishing would improve it and now I know the reason why! My car is still in good shape wondering if a ceramic coating may prolong the shine for a little longer, I may give it a go. Those restoring classics are always looking to avoid a the cost of a re-chrome, I did see a chrome paint that goes on with a brush and looks really good and is really hard wearing. This could be an option if you wanted to keep it origional.

Very impressive finish, nice Matt black compared to a gloss wrap, Keep these simple mods a coming

Lovely Jubbly, very impressed.

Looks great! Good job!

WoW good job man thank you for the video

Hello, thanks for the video. Which kind of spray colour do i need to buy? Just to be sure it works well on my bmw F10 Thanks

Wow it looks GREAT !!! I SEE YOUR PASSANGER SIDE DOOR IS NOT ALIGNED CORRECTLY Mine is same maybe you csn make a video off how to fix this issue?😊🤔

This patina actually does polish, I used Turtle Wax metal polish on my F11 and it's like new now.

Good stuff mate!

I’m planning to paint in same way roof rails but worried when I’ll put roof bars it might will damage the paint? Did you ever washed car in car wash with high pressure if so how it went? Thanks

I think this is the way I am going with 😊 I did try to warp my car but it was nightmare

Looks a nice job. I'll be doing my F11 once BMW have done the warranty repaint on the doors. How many tins of paint do you think it needs? I'm pricing it up against wrapping them with vinyl

Surprised no one suggested putting the trims in the dishwasher to prep 😂, nice effect thou

My 12 year old car trim is still fine. I believe its acidic TFR that burns the ally, especially those used at car washes etc

I had a front door repaired and resprayed by BMW. Bodyshop said the weatherstrip (mine are shadowline) had to come off to respray the door outer skin. They said pulling off the weatherstrips is virtually impossible to do without bending them and ruining them so new ones are needed. So good move not trying to lever of your chrome ones.

Nice job Nut Job. BMW term this 'shadowline' trim and is usually a no cost option when specifying the car. I agree it looks far better than chrome and won't weather. An alternative way of achieving the same look is to get the trim wrapped. I had my 6 series done including the kidney grill surrounds for £130. On a separate issue, would you delete the music while you are speaking please? Although it is at super low volume, somehow that makes it rather distracting (for me anyway). I would rather be listening to you! Thanks

Came out well, all that masking up would drive me mad though.

Can you visibly tell when it needs another coat ? This is exactly what i want to do in the next few days. Great DIY vids mate.

nice. Did you also paint the roof rails? is it any easy way to take them off or should i just paint them sitting on the car.

Can you make some more l322 videos.

Besides a good clean and degrease was there any other steps you needed to do before applying the black spray.. ie rubbing it all down to achieve a good bond with the new paint…???

Hellou from Croatia (Istra) 🙂

Someone took the easy way on your window tint. Seeing such a dot matrix line make my eyes water...

Hi mate, have you had any issues in peeling/scabbing since install... I did this on my E61 but it didn't last long... Want to do my F11 ex police car but don't wanna do all that masking to need it redone in 3 months 🤷🏻‍♂️

What sort of paint is that please

10 months on, how is the blacked out chrome trim holding up on the F11? Thinking of doing this on mine and like your video explaining how.

How to fix the scratches on it ???

How many cans of Plasti Dip you use for bouth sides?

I done some dechroming on my old 530d e60 (as it wasn't an msport) It looked fine to start off with but after a few thousand miles of motorway driving especially the front grill started to look a bit shabby with bits of black chipping off and really drives the price down when selling the vehicle

How Long did it last ? Before it had to be re done ?

I would probably just take the entire trim off as putty no masking tape and papers seems more of a daunting task 😀

my bmw f11 520d died today :( timing chain jumped when i was starting it on parking lot

I advise you to remove all the trim in order to paint it. The aerosol spray paint is really bad for the weather strip rubber, which will create cracks overtime and lead you to spend a lot more money than you would expect by replacing it.

What percent tints are they?

Chrome is nicer and more luxurious

Doesn’t look as good as high gloss shadow line on m sport trim but I understand what your doing and reasons for getting the ex police car fair play keep the videos coming just don’t add any M badges 😉
