- In this video I paint all my chrome bits. Most new cars come with a heap of chrome parts like grill, mirror covers ect.
The basic process is to sand, prime and paint.
You can use a spray gun or a spray can to do the job.
If using 2k paint please do it with a good spray mask and in a well ventilated area with dust extraction.
Here is a video using the 2K clear in a can.

Door handles wheels and side steps are done. Check it out here. th-cam.com/video/bAM16Fi_5GY/w-d-xo.html
I remember back in early 2000’s people want it chrome everything mirrors,grille,bumper,rims etc etc now it’s the opposite blacked out everything we going backwards...
Question if I'm going with a 2k satin black finish should I still use a satin clear coat?
Would you what would you estimate the cost to have this done at an auto body shop for a 2019 Honda Pilot. Thank you and thank you for the video
Can we get an updated to see how it held up? Looks good!
Very nice. Chrome looks great on vehicles from the 1950s, but not on modern vehicles.
I don't think so...I hate blacked out cars....they aren't classy
@@lenjames well new, modern cars aren't meant to be classy....yet. Even newer Corvettes looks very dated with chrome wheels IMO.
NATSCHKE FAMILY ADVENTURES fr I’m trynna get the chrome trim off my 2012 Camry it looks kinda weird
I hate blacked out cars too, they look like base models, blacked out sport cars look nice tho
@@lenjames Well most cars are kind of sporty, so I don't think chrome works. Just my opinion. It's obviously nice to many or car companies wouldn't still be making it, but you still see a ton off chrome deletes via vinyl, paint, plastidip etc. and so many that have the chrome wish they didn't. I think there can be a balance on certain cars I suppose.
Such a good paint color! Wish the whole car came that way!
nice. deep satin black would look great also.
Im doing this with our 2010 dodge journey. Just got racelines that are semi gloss black. Gonna pull the ugly grill off and paint it to match the body. Brilliant black pearl.
Looks Awesome!!! You make this difficult job look easy...
Amazing job and information. I am going to try my vehicle.
Gave it a hipster look! Looks great man, nice paint work!
Looks so much better, but you forgot the inner side of the front gril. Now it’s two tone and looks a bit busy.
Looks really slick, nice job.
So how do you do the opposite? Make a chrome finish on a painted piece... love your channel.
Beautiful job! Why on earth don't the manufacturers make them like this? To me it seems a no brainer which looks better. Yet they spend millions on design and still think people prefer chrome. Boggles the cranium
Looks so good bro!
Looks real nice
People have to buy the chrome package which make it interesting.
Black is beauty, ain't it? :) nice job.
great job, looks awesome
Always good videos..need more!
I wonder what that scuffing paste and scuffing pad is? 🤔I guess we’ll never know.
Excellent!
Brilliant! Cheers mate!
Great job!
what is that tape you're using that has plastic that comes down from it?
Why etch primer over the adhesion promoter???
Looks great? Does this last?
So it's okay to spray self etch primer on plastic chrome grill? Getting ready to blackout mine
Chrome looked great but black color pops out
I literally made a comment to my friend to black out his chrome and TH-cam suggest it a day later. okay
Even painted the number plate...😉
Grill comes off: wow so easy! (Laughs in 2008 Dodge Charger)
Bruh...LOL. Tell me about it... 2011 Charger
Do you have the black with silver pearl available in a spray can?
How much would a job like this cost? And where is your shop?
Why did you use etch primer over adhesion promoter, is that the same as using a regular primer since the adhesion promoter base layer would inhibit any etching properties of the etch primer?
No, the etch primer also acts like a normal primer. The adhesion promoter will help the etch primer stick to the plastic, as well as give a black base to hopefully hide stone chips when they happen
This level of quality can't be achieved without the right tools & skill. Pay the money & have a body shop do it right the first time, rattle cans can't give you a proper factory finish & definitely won't withstand stone chips. Sans an airgun/skill, don't try this at home.
made this car look like a comic side kick...fucking why haha
The right amount of finger snaping...
we need this truck in america................
This is absolutely THE best blackout job I've seen done. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Great video. The thought of doing it myself gives me anxiety 😂
Grow a pair and just do it. :)
Lol I was thinking the exact same thing!!! 😂😂
Just go for it it’ll work, worst that can happen u peel it off
Instantly made it look 5 years newer, well done mate!
Thats a lot of work. Will consider wrapping over this, except for the rims ofcourse! But you did a great job, truck looks way much better and the paint detail on that black is really sparkly nice nice.
Wrapping takes just as much work and doesn't last forever lol
@@wals479 exactly!
Wrapping is a pain in the bum and depending on what wrap you buy and know what you're doing, you might get an orange peel sort of finish, creases etc. Might as well do a spray job
At the beginning of the video the tables are white and at the end black and another number ...
0:55 Use clip removal tools to remove the parts you want to paint
1:30 Water scuffing paste and grey scuffing pads
1:49 3m sanding sponges
1:56 Wax & Grease remover
2:07 Adhesion promoter (brand: UPOL, it’s grip #4, purple & black can)
2:24 10min after, use Black Etch Primer (V.G. Auto Paints & Tools. Custom Mixed Color. 20min to dry)
After this is all about whatever color
Wow, someone who does videos about car things, AND knows how to do an underview at the end. Appreciated. Also, the existence of a 2-part clear coat in a spray can isn't something I would have ever even thought to look up.
Awesome job mate!!
Also, funny to see you in a winter coat, I sometimes forget your seasons are opposites ours as I sit here and sweat lol
You made that look simple mate - nice work. You certainly know what you are doing. :)
Really transformed the look of the truck, made it look much nicer.
If you were able to rough up the surface sufficiently with just a Scotch pad, then those parts CANNOT be chrome. Chrome is extremely hard and even the toughest abrasive papers will barely touch it. I would suspect they were actually aluminium, probably applied by vapour deposition (like headlight reflectors). With chromed plastic parts, IT IS necessary to remove the chrome before painting the raw plastic as paint simply won't stick to chrome, since it is so smooth. If they were aluminium coated, then fair enough, the ally can be roughed up and painted, though I would argue you'll get a better finish by removing it (oven cleaner) and painting the plastic. th-cam.com/video/CDF3A3xUYeY/w-d-xo.html
If I didn't know you painted the chrome I would've thought it was a factory midnight edition option. Great job
Nice job! I hate it when people plastidip front grills and the badge. Using proper paint makes all the difference!
One is easy and removable...
You were just kidding when you told you sold your subarus and got this instead right?
“he needed 4wd” lol
You know you can just plasti dip all you parts and if you don't like it you just peel it off! I sprayed my head and break lights on my Harley 6 years ago they still look like new. Way less work way less time and way cheaper!
Plus door handles?
I remember back in early 2000’s people want it chrome everything mirrors,grille,bumper,rims etc etc now it’s the opposite blacked out everything we going backwards...
Welcome to............"Black to the Future #4"
People just wanted something shinier
Is there any particular reason why you didn't just use the 3M ultra fine sanding pad instead of using the gray scuffing pad, and then the 3M sanding pad?
Only problem is it’s still a Nissan
some1 told me its difficult to paint on chrome, & the paint comes off quick (2-3 months) ....true or false
I’m not a fan of chrome nice job. Is there a reason the door handles didn’t get done ?
Roy Patience I have covers that I'll paint and put on. I just need to cut a hole for the keyless entry.
customspraymods makes sense thank you
I can vouch for the Max 2K clear coat... I used it on the fairings on my race bike and it's a million times better than the 1-part aerosols. And the little Preval paint sprayers are great if you want to use custom colors but don't have a compressor or sprayer.
Humans are weird beings, I remember back in the 90's when all trims were black, these cars were considered entry level cars and everyone was changing them to their MORE EXPENSIVE chrome version ones ...this is just a trend. I still prefer whatever is stock! but yeah the truck looks good with everything blacked out, and you just did it professionally not like plastid that lasts 2 months.
While painting the plastic you mentioned you were spraying with a black etch primer. At the end of video you mentioned to use a plastic primer. Should it be a black etching primer or just a plastic primer used?
that is shiny silvered plastic, not Chrome.
if yr gonna make a video about something, you're kinda expected to know wtf yr talking about.
1. Own a paint shop
2. Own a lot of spray paint
3. Own paint gear
4. Have a lot of time
5. Spray like 5000+ times over all the parts, and then do it again...
You can get the same results...
Thanks for this video.. how about those garnish installed to my car door? Can I paint using spray can without removing?
And why factories don’t do this?!? Crazy!! Absolutely different and much better looking car
New subscriber here.
Please give us an update on how long will your painted chrome parts last whenever time comes.
Without chrome, that vehicle is very tough-looking and its very appropriate as ute.
So you didnt cover the etch primer with a urethane primer? WTF. I followed your steps now my work is FUCKED!!!
Man I hate Chrome, why they ever thought it was a good idea in the first place is beyond me.
any reason why you didn’t remove the brake light from the sports bar....like is it a bitch to get out/back in again?
To be honest .I am not a fan of chrome anymore..lol.. I prefer flat black and gloss black on a bright colored vehicle.. chrome only looks good if your vehicle color is black or dark.
Question: How do you change the color of the Nissan emblem on the front grill? Is it removable?
Nice job and thanks for the inspiration. Another good project for my daily driver while the world is shut down. I'm going to rid my Honda Accord of chrome!
you paint your motorcycle rims chrome from that shinny black and you paint your chrome parts of your truck black , ha ha ok. The black though does look good on the grey
Straight up bad azz...how's the paint quality and everything holding up?
Big fan of the dark and blacking out. Not a fan of so much chrome plastic on cars these days. Excellent.
Why didn't you just pull the brake light wiring out when you painted the bed chrome trim piece?
Spend all that money on a car. Then fuck it and reduce its price overnight with an Halfords toddler spray kit
Nice job! Are you gonna leave the door handles chrome?
I don't really want a glossy finish. I want more of a matte black so what clear would you recommend
Door handles ans belt moldings please.
Chrome only looks good with bright colors for example Ferrari red
Dave took the time to break down each step and describe the process, product used, and why. Overall, a great video.
Should have blacked out the Nissan emblem!!! Looks great though
I thought I was the only one who doesn't like chrome, especially on the front grill
Wish we bad Navaras in the US... I see them in Mexico. Wonder why we don’t have them here.
I am the only one that thinks it looked better with the chrome? the only part that might look better is the roof rails, this is not a black out type of vehicle.
Looks great! But, any normal person does not have all them extras oh, and a spray booth!
You are the master of paint and prime . How do you lay a decal on chrome and paint it . Then remove the decal
Looks a thousand times better but now you need to paint the wheels the same color so it all blends it perfectly.
I’m a big fan of spray-on bed liner 😀😀😀. Scuff and one coat!
Finally I realised you look like Luis Figo, it was bugging me for years.
Would like to see it a year after driving around .. is the black still sticking?
Usually paint or primer will not stick on chrome plating
How many time you wait when applied the promover adhesión to the actual paint.
If only you would have done the Nissan grill emblem......
Chrome is more pricey looking weird how backwards things get
Is this better way or using foil? Which stays longer?
You missed the Nissan front emblem! Haha. Thanks for the video. I think I'm going to paint my trucks running boards. I bought the truck used with chrome running boards but my wife wants to black the truck out. This is definitely what I'll be doing instead of buying new black running boards lol
Good on ya mate
Outstanding work
Wait why use etch primer? Isn't this chrome over plastic?
