Matte Black Fog Light Trim Wrap (pics)

[DarkSpeed3]

Heres what I did today. I popped out my fog light trim and wrapped them in matte black vinyl. Very quick and easy with a heat gun. Took about 15 mins to get both done. I will update this post once I have day light and pop them back on the car. The vinyl I chose to use was from here.

I recommend using a matte clearcoat then, they chip easy without it

Dumb ? but where can you get matte clearcoat? Any place that sells spray paint?

Its not a dumb Q, I personally havent looked for it so Im not sure. I would guess lowes or home depot would carry it. That way you get the protection of the clearcoat from rockchips, and maintain the matte finish too instead of glossy.

Thanks Dark. I'll have to look for some matte clearcoat this weekend.

I bought some Matte clearcoat from Michaels before.

Darkspeed, approx. how much vinyl you need to wrap both trims? Since it's my first time doing mod like this, I kinda wanna mess with the fog light trim before the tail light tint.

The minimum size they sell is 12"x24" sheet, which is plenty for the 2 fog light trims

Dark,

Did you pull the bumper to remove the trim.

No, they just pull right out with some strong fingers. They pulled straight out.

Waiting to find the perfect set of wheels still to throw on in spring. So far nothing I have seen jumps out at me like "I MUST HAVE THOSE!".... Other than that, I wish my whole car was matte black =)
