Ive also spoken to a car wrapping place and they said they want to stay away from wrapping it as its so fiddly and very difficult.

And I've heard painting has its difficulties as removing the trim is hard without damaging it, and paint can chip.

I'm wondering how everyone else is changing theirs to black?

I will post pictures of my X6 50 once I'm finishing blacking everything out!
Its looking mean so far.

Also, any tips on black side steps would be appreciated as well.
Shadow line 3M vinyl tape. Hold up real nice...don't like it rip it off.

Plasti dipped my Audi S4 grills and trim. Holds up nice, more work than the shadow line 3M vinyl.

Just don't get too close with powerwasher spray tip or both will come off.
