Painted nose
i have used vinyl , primer/paint , black-out tape , and plastidip on various parts on
a lot of different cars.
plastidip is durable...better than properly done primer/paint ? ? ? not really.
the beauty of plastidip, is any time you want , you can peel it off of the surface you
applied it to.

Don't know how much it's going to cost -- shouldn't be a fortune.
You'll probably want a spray bottle of water with a drop or two of Ivory dish soap in it to make the vinyl easier to move around, but don't use a lot...too much makes it hard to get the stuff to stay put, and you can get water trapped underneath.
(Other people may have their own methods of application, but that's how I'd probably try to do it.)
MAKE SURE YOUR SURFACE IS CLEAN BEFORE YOU PUT THE VINYL ON.

Alright guys sorry just got outta work so I couldn't post but I used krylon black satin(I had a feeling the flat wouldn't work as nice) and I used a krylon rust free primer. I took the chrome ring off and it was a pain. I first took off the plastic tube that leads to the intake box. After that is off I took off the plastic shroud that is on the inside. Once this shroud is off you will see all the silver screws on the inside. This part if fairly easy, just have a stubby phillips. There should be a total of 10 silver screws(sadly I was missing one). Once all these are taken out its time for the bottom. I went under the car and used a 10mm socket to remove 5 bolts under the car. (you will see the shroud underneath) once the bolts are undone there are 4 black clips, 2 on each side near the wheels. Once all the clips and bolts are off I stuck my hand in under the intercooler and undid the screws to the black bottom grate. Once those are undone there are 2 bolts of the outside. You will need a socket extender. When these are out carefully pull out the grate. This gives you access to the bottom to take out the rest of the screws to the chrome ring. once all the screws are out slowly pull off the chrome ring. From here i used a high grit sandpaper to take off the finish. This took me about an hour to do a really nice job. I forgot to get emery cloth to wet sand. Once sanded i just sprayed it and let it cure for a few hours and it was ready. If you guys want pics and a more descriptive how to let me know.
