DIY: Powdercoated/Blacked out trim

I couldn’t stand the chrome any longer and since I had an opportunity to get my door seals upgraded for free by BMW, i decided to finally attempt this task.

So anyways, I removed the trim, prepped it, and Powdercoated it ‘satin black’. I wish I could have shown the powdercoating process, but I forgot to bring my camera. FYI, my new powdercoating oven was big enough to do all the pieces, with a little bit of room to spare.

To me the difference is huge.

I think the before picture works by itself because it matches your rims (at that time), gives it initial definition with looking at it. The new look works with the existing rims 'cause the chrome as stealing your eye. :tup:
