A question about the above title really chaps, there would appear to be only several possible options open to owners with chrome or similar finish brightwork when it comes to a colour or finish change, partly due to the work involved in removing the trim around the doors and windows etc, insitu is the only real option by the looks of things.
Methods appear to include ,Vinyl wrapping & wet paint as the only possible options from a wear & tear basis, but which is better.
Wet painting is more invloved and costly but probably the better end result and longer lasting and will withstand weathering better, but what about vinyl wrapping.
is wrapping effected by UV light and dryout over time, what about removing it and will that be a problematic job.
how will it hold up in hot sunlight all day during the summer months over several years ,or will it degrade when the temp is colder in winter and start flaking off.
I know these may sound a bit overkill but i would like to get my brightwork redone in a satin black finish but it want it to last more than a couple of years, if wrapping is a short term solution i'd rather pay a bit more and go the wet paint route.
just want to get a better idea of the pro's and cons of the availble options chaps before taking the plunge .
any feedback would be great.
