Anyone seen this done?
Was thinking of doing it just to switch things up, would even consider a color but that seems kind of tacky.
Have matte black accents on the car so most likely would just do matte black.
Attached a picture of my current setup.
Next week having my rear lip spoiler bonded onto the deck lid which will be pretty cool looking once finished as well as my calipers painted a royal-ish blue color.

I have seen this done before in wrap. Others have used Plasti Dip as well (it does work on everything lol).
I think the popular ones are going matte black, glossy black, and cf. On white car, anything can look good basically.

Interesting idea. The back of my mirrors tend to get pitted from road debris and every now and then, I manage to scrape the edge of the passenger mirror pulling out of the garage. Plasti-coating it might correct those issues.

i did this on window trim on my e39, well a year down the road.. the stuff was nearly impossible to take off. it hardened and i ended up easing fineline wax and grease remover.

Bill you probably didn't spray enough coats so not enough material to really properly layer and form. So a thin coat, with sun beating down on it, will get really difficult to remove... however! Goo Gone will take it off without causing any damage. Not terribly painful either.
