I hope you masked off behind the grilles too!
Off topic: I was plasti-dipping a rear valence today and it was surprisingly easy to work with. Too bad I ran out after only 2 coats. Need to run and grab another can tomorrow to finish. |

Looks good... Love the Red.
While I think it is cool what was done, there is no chance in hell I'd paint anything like that on a car. The time involved in doing it right, is worth avoiding the damage done by doing wrong. |

Those white rims are actually pretty neat! It reminds me of those older rally cars, like the Euro spec Ford Escort (used to have one myself, I loved that car)

plasti-dip is a good solution for temporary solutions IMO, Ive done it on my audi a ton, but theres something about taking it to a brand new bimmer that just makes me cringe a little, sorry OP, I respect for the short term but I'd make a more permanent solution to the problem

If I use the plasti dip to paint my chrome grills black will I be able to clean them off when I turn my car in at lease end?

Thats the whole point in plasi dip its removable. Put more coats like 4 so its thick and easier to remove. Also dont sand the chrome just clean it well.
