How to paint over Chrome, black out your ride

[@customspraymods]

Door handles wheels and side steps are done. Check it out here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHKwYml8nsRofbs

[@joeg.1119]

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...

[@farmermike9262]

Question if I'm going with a 2k satin black finish should I still use a satin clear coat?

[@n40tom]

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

[@mramerica4749]

Can we get an updated to see how it held up? Looks good!

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

Very nice. Chrome looks great on vehicles from the 1950s, but not on modern vehicles.

[@lenjames]

I don't think so...I hate blacked out cars....they aren't classy

[@mikeh.8155]

@@lenjames well new, modern cars aren't meant to be classy....yet. Even newer Corvettes looks very dated with chrome wheels IMO.

[@mdub-lq7ez]

NATSCHKE FAMILY ADVENTURES fr I’m trynna get the chrome trim off my 2012 Camry it looks kinda weird

[@jonathanamezquita9285]

I hate blacked out cars too, they look like base models, blacked out sport cars look nice tho

[@BillClay88]

@@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.

[@agentdsmith]

This is absolutely THE best blackout job I've seen done. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@brianfox340]

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.

[@Nanogrip]

Really transformed the look of the truck, made it look much nicer.

[@snitz157]

Instantly made it look 5 years newer, well done mate!

[@joecool2125]

Dave took the time to break down each step and describe the process, product used, and why. Overall, a great video.

[@broncoramfan]

If I didn't know you painted the chrome I would've thought it was a factory midnight edition option. Great job

[@nickborrrego]

This is by far the most useful video I've seen for this kind of job.

[@trashchannel2456]

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

[@redbackspider]

You made that look simple mate - nice work. You certainly know what you are doing. :)

[@billgorman1438]

That looks so clean! Factory Clean. I’m doing this to my Armada! Thanks for the video.

[@bakerdeathwish88]

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.

[@wals479]

Wrapping takes just as much work and doesn't last forever lol

[@farmermike9262]

@@wals479 exactly!

[@ruisilva3317]

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

[@RicharW500]

Knowing your business makes everything look so easy. Great video

[@steveproctor-x2u]

Awesome job, looks great - bloke knew what he was on about..

[@EAADetailing]

Such a good paint color! Wish the whole car came that way!

[@elijahclark6093]

Dude that looks a million times better

[@Vincent-Vega24]

Man it looks soooo much better afterwards!!!! Thanks for the tips because I’m wanting to do my front grill now!!!!

[@ravindradaundkar9905]

Car is looking better than before!

[@TheGibby13]

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

[@grantfoley5414]

Great video. The thought of doing it myself gives me anxiety 😂

[@paraniaa08]

Grow a pair and just do it. :)

[@myveryownpage]

Lol I was thinking the exact same thing!!! 😂😂

[@matthewszepanski]

Just go for it it’ll work, worst that can happen u peel it off

[@michaeltammaro482]

Excellent!!! Beautiful job dude.

[@richsmout550]

Thanks that's great really like the blacked out look. Don't forget door handles and windows too 👍

[@goldbug8958]

and all the emblems

[@GaryKari]

Great job! Looks so much better now.

[@arabbetts]

Great job I need to paint some window trim and side vents, now I know how thank you!

[@tyhasley73]

So how do you do the opposite? Make a chrome finish on a painted piece... love your channel.

[@beardedguardian71]

Excellent end results. Need to hit them door handles as well. Going to do thus to my rig. Thanks.

[@gafurrzogaj1426]

Great video I was gonna use a heat gun to remove the chrome from the grill which would take a lot of time but this method is much easier and less time consuming thx for the video it’s very helpful 👍💯

[@alba81rm]

Awesome job bro looks 100 times better

[@muslimtommyshelby2624]

Good on ya mate Outstanding work

[@seanusc8081]

Yay someone from Australia!!! Great job too!

[@cnoonan164]

My god that looks amazing. Excellent decision to paint.

[@DAD0123]

Now, if you were only my neighbor and we were good friends. Nice work. Huge difference.

[@tymecop]

Looks Awesome!!! You make this difficult job look easy...

[@mariawatherston603]

Looks so much tougher with black trim, I would Love to try this, great video

[@stcfabworx1687]

Looking really good!! Can’t wait to see how you do the wheels. And thanks for the info. I may be brave enough now to start restoring my 69 camaro. I want to do it blacked out!

[@jeffwhite8017]

Gave it a hipster look! Looks great man, nice paint work!

[@pasquariello72]

That looks tuff. Definitely a great vehicle for towing

[@rgm-79fp93]

Lower tow capacity than other trucks of different brands maybe the lowest

[@kitjasabsgabs1830]

Great job. There's a new 2k on the block and it has no pot life. You can use a lil now and a month from now. Car Rep. Bought and used and it's AMAZING. So nice not to have to have all the parts ready at same time and hurry up and coat. Now we can do hom much we can and not have to hurry or pay for more cans. Check them out. Car Rep 2k clear, primer even paint.

[@toyesteve]

Sweet video. I've just bought a Navara, a white one. Looking to matt black all the parts you've just painted. Thanks for posting this video.

[@jthiel0711]

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

[@weaselmcweaselson1543]

watching that clear coat go on under the light was deeply satisfying. now I want a spray gun like that lol

[@dagorilla5177]

Wow 😯 you did such a great job 👏🏾

[@creative_minds.]

I try to find tips for painting over chrome for like an year i found nothing ,thank you for the video 🤝✌

[@Cooper3312000]

Looks really slick, nice job.

[@mattt9131]

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!

[@moyounes9914]

Great job... much much nicer finish than to original chrome

[@Neur0bit]

Looks amazing. Great job!

[@elijenkinson3138]

That looks much better in black trim. I wish we had more vehicles like this in the USA. The closest thing we have is the Honda Ridgeline and previously the Ford Explorer Sport Track. Both are underpowered for towing. Although the new Jeep Gladiator just came out.

[@Biker4life420]

Them parts are Bullet Proof too with That clear Coat...looks awesome.

[@kjdeutin]

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?

[@AssadNiang]

You did an excellent job! Looking very nice...

[@grantfraser851]

Good job man looks heaps better 👌🏻

[@aharracksingh4465]

That looks so much nicer than the chrome.

[@ricbaker4739]

Plus door handles?

[@stephencorazzini6597]

Amazing job and information. I am going to try my vehicle.

[@k.a.8494]

Very cool stuff! Definitely informative. There's a few things that I didn't know about regarding paint and I appreciate you letting us know. I also like that you did the roof rails with spray cans. Gives someone some confidence because they turned out great on your UTE. I may have to send you an email asking a few questions but this was a very encouraging video. Thanks for the effort?

[@TonyRadford]

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.

[@explorethebush]

Nice job and well explained. Looks great

[@terryfredrick5149]

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.

[@stevewaclo167]

I’m a big fan of spray-on bed liner 😀😀😀. Scuff and one coat!

[@FlorinAntonoaei]

great job! I want to paint the bumper metal trims around the exhaust on my 7 series. what type of paint should I use which is heat resistant?

[@bushidokori]

You are the master of paint and prime . How do you lay a decal on chrome and paint it . Then remove the decal

[@mercesletifer9553]

Thanks for this video.. how about those garnish installed to my car door? Can I paint using spray can without removing?

[@jeremyledbetter8022]

Chrome looks good on black and dark grey vehicles. Liked it better with the chrome. 😮

[@gradient602]

thats a nice truck, I wish they sold it on the US. that metallic black really makes it POP!! great work!

[@SirPractical]

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?

[@sasaipapzeeochea3695]

Excellent job done Mate👍

[@mikeh.8155]

Looks great, much better than all that tacky chrome.

[@joekool283]

Nice job! Are you gonna leave the door handles chrome?

[@rtong12]

Thank you. Great video with helpful insights.

[@matdube3577]

Great advice. Will try that on motorcycle parts 😊

[@JustinMurta]

You killed it! Also awesome video work!

[@cbee5568]

Ok. This guy is a pro!

[@myprivatewar]

nice. deep satin black would look great also.

[@leesimpsonVY]

Looks so good bro!

[@shaneleslie9218]

Looks awesome mate!!

[@PwnyInTheBath]

Looks hella better now!

[@TxMx214]

Looks a thousand times better but now you need to paint the wheels the same color so it all blends it perfectly.

[@slimjimphantom6294]

Looks great, nice job !

[@OldPongGeezer]

Wow, that looks SO GOOD! I've got a 2018 F-150 with lots of chrome. Want to get rid of it all. So, I was excited to see this video. But NOPE! I don't have this level of skill or patience.😫. It would end up being a drip-and-run fiasco... maybe I can find a local artist like you! Thanks for sharing, looks great.

[@CdrMadDog]

looks awesome! id just add the door handles and the window trims

[@TheRoyp80]

I’m not a fan of chrome nice job. Is there a reason the door handles didn’t get done ?

[@customspraymods]

Roy Patience I have covers that I'll paint and put on. I just need to cut a hole for the keyless entry.

[@TheRoyp80]

customspraymods makes sense thank you

[@WickedMachineWorks]

Nice job! I hate it when people plastidip front grills and the badge. Using proper paint makes all the difference!

[@wobblysauce]

One is easy and removable...

[@mickholgate3347]

looks awesome Dave, good job mate!

[@paulmartinez9908]

Damn good job brother!!!

[@tsjuno]

Looks so much better

[@redciroc1211]

Straight up bad azz...how's the paint quality and everything holding up?

[@shanebaisch2271]

How does this process hold up to rock chips, and have you ever tried to install paint chip protection over the paint?

[@golong1343]

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.

[@austar111]

Seriously helpful video man, I've got a sr5 Hilux and hate all the chrome on it gonna get rid of some of it now

Very nice! Keep the good job 👏. Really good feeling to see you upload videos.

[@kennethcotton6629]

your love amases me

[@waynethomas1726]

I have a set of valve covers that are chrome plated that need to get painted red. There are a lot of dings, scratches and rust. I have a sand blast cabinet. My back and hands are trashed from wrenching for 40 years. I don't think I have it in me to scuff them good enough. Should I sandblast them? Wouldn't blasting it make for a good surface to paint?

[@omarmosqueda3775]

Fantastic work bro!

[@williamshanasy2288]

Love your work Dave

[@rileybarringer9823]

Looks really good, the worst part about new Nissans are their excessive use of chrome. Why I didn't get one

[@fizzicister]

Big fan of the dark and blacking out. Not a fan of so much chrome plastic on cars these days. Excellent.

[@giorgosnak9927]

Nice job!what grir sandpaper should I use instead of sponge or scuffing paste for the plastic chromed trim?the adhension promoter is the same as for painting raw plastic?

[@ericshutter5305]

Looks so much better, but you forgot the inner side of the front gril. Now it’s two tone and looks a bit busy.
