Default attempt at plasti dipping chrome

my attempt at current project of plasti dipping the chrome trim and grill and chrome around fog lights, also removed side bagdes and rear S4, and blacked out the Audi rings on the back.. trial and error..

i will be redoing the door trims, as i messed up a bit.. but gives you the picture..

so far i am very pleased with outcome...

the dip has held up thru 4 pressure washes and rain storms so far... easy to peal off..

did one trial on front grill before did final stage ... peeled it off no problem, but took some time..

if you do it.. wash car and air dry at high speeds...:P first time i didnt dry properly and got water bubbles why i did it again.. and happy now with final results... did 8 coats if you are curious...

Looks great! Question: Don't you need a front plate in Alberta?
