Hummm, nothing but compliments on my Red calipers.......Damn Minnesota people are pretty fickle.

Oh how much I love me some Denali chrome

for what its worth, I have both plastidip and vinyl wrap covering chrome on my truck along with some pieces professionally painted. I’m having more trouble with the vinyl wanting to peel off, the plastidip so far is holding up better. which I didn’t expect. I have a few parts that I need to rewrap because the bad stuff is starting to show through. Most of my chrome delete happened before the truck hit 1000 miles, so its been about 3 years now.

Nearly finished…hoping the vinyl wrap will last

Did you have the handles painted? Or were they wrapped?

Painted. I bought a set of new handles through a body shop, so they came without chrome and ready to paint, had them do the work. One reason was i wanted that last little detail of having the lock button body color also. I dont think there is a factory option for that at all. I think it looks so much better blending in as it does.

thanks.  Just a little cleaner and less overstated with the top being blacked out.

 

I'd like to paint or wrap the lower chrome fascia also but I don't think it would last long

I think it looks good blacked out like that....you are spot on when you say it is too much chrome. Just that lil bit sets it apart just enough. 

 

I was quoted $299 locally to have that piece vinyl wrapped to match...I've got a Volcano Red SLT....I want that piece to match...I need to see what hyperdip has.
