Window surrounds wrapping

[Rayner_1704]

Hi, has anyone had there window surrounds wrapped (the chrome trim) ? And what sort of price should I be looking at ? Thanks

Hi Rayner,

I am getting my grill, fog grill and the plastic on the rear bumper wrapped in gloss black at the end of the month.

I will ask and let you know. If it gives you any indication, it was around 40quid for the grill that I was quoted.

Look forward to seeing the results. Isn't gloss black wrapping quite rare? I'd heard that most black wrapping ends up being a matt finish, but I guess it depends on where you go.

All personal preference really, I've never been a fan of a full car in matte black. Think the trims would definitely look better gloss.

Yeah can't wait to see it! Post some pics when it's done

I agree. I prefer gloss, but I'd heard most places that offer gloss, actually aren't as glossy as the OEM finish - its more of a matt finish. But I love the gloss black, wish I'd found a black edition car, but didn't.

I hope it turns out as gloss black! I havnt seen the film he is using yet, I will certainly check before the work starts.

Pics will certainly be posted

You've got nothing to worry about, it'll never be as glossy as paint but it certainly won't be matte or even satin. It'll be shiny

Gutted guys, went to see them today. They won't wrap that type of plastic because the wrap will come off. Looks like I will have to get it sprayed...

Rayner £40 per side for the chrome trim mate. Chrome trim he said would be fine. It was a very glossy black he showed me the film.

Good stuff I'll see if I can find someone to do it now I'm based in Leeds

I had full black pack done front grille and fog trims painted and rear diffuser trim painted and all chrome surrounds wrapped £500, think he was quoting around £300 for just the window trims

I was looking at wrap but was going to DIY using smoke tail light tints.
But as I am no brain surgeon with a scalpel, I have decided against and now getting some smoke plasti-dip, I want a slight translucent shine rather than full black out.

I'm looking to see how much I can do this myself but worried with I pressure wash it if it would come off or not.

Have any of you thought of plastidip? It's a peelable spray paint. Works wonders.

You'd also be surprised how easy it is to wrap them. You can get rolls of the stuff on eBay relatively cheaply and a bit of trial and error and you've got a black pack

Iv tried wrapping before and it doesn't sit well with my short temper haha
