Removing chrome front trim ring??
Anybody try to remove the silver trim on the front bumper? I hate chrome and i want to plasti-dip it. Is it easy or can it break easy upon removal? I dont want to risk it if it beaks easy.
Thanks

why bother removing it - just mask off around it and spray.

i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure you can't remove just the chrome trim separately anyway.

That is what i thought. It doesnt look easy to remove. I just didnt want to waste a lot of time taping it of if it could just be popped out easy.

it should be a pretty easy mask job - long edges with smooth corners. newspaper around it to catch overspray.

much easier than broken plastic connectors when removing trim!
