De-Chrome Window Surround BMW E70

Post by rickz » Sat Feb 25, 2017 8:12 pm

Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend what to do to de-chrome the window surround?

Wrap or paint?

Want something that is as cost effective as possible!

I had mine wrapped.
Cost to replace was circa £1500 so not really viable, fortunately I have the shadowline roof bars, cost to wrap was £270 and an excellent job done.

Off topic, but I see you have had your rims powder coated instead of the diamond finish. What paint code did you use as they don't look out of place and mine need doing at some stage......

The wheels are reflex silver A44 ( the front nearside needs redoing as poor paint finish)
An individual taste, though enhanced longevity
