Some one said there's a DIY on how to paint yopur trims yourself.

Alpine White Girl did it herself.

Can some one guide me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Ok, ive helped you with the grille's, and calipers. Chrome is chrome. sand, clean, and paint it. there is a diy on the forum. you need to learn to use the search option.

"shadowline trim diy" - try searching this.

when you click search. click the link that says "more search options"

then only search in the diy section because trust me, its there.

heres a link on removal and everything you need : shadowline diy

just in case you want to leave on the chrome trim and paint it on the car you can try this one: shadowline painting - taped off

this honestly took 3 mins to come up with. i know your a noob so thats why i did it for you. i was in your situation a couple months back. im honestly not mad so if my post seemed bitchy, im sorry!

Hope this really helps you because shadowline is a must.

Enjoy and let us know how things go!

Purchase the real shadowline. For 200 bucks you will save yourself some aggrevation, time, and mess. Good luck.

Well things like these that are easy and doable. I'll rather just do it myself. Because I like to interact with my car once in a while, and idk every time i do something to it and it comes out good (like my grilles today) I makes me feel good inside.
