Plasti-dip front grills and side vents

Thinking about plasti-dipping the front grill chrom trim pieces and the chrome trim on the side vents. Already have the can, but I'm thinking about ordering "glossifer" to give it a clear coat finish from dipyourcar.com.

I plan on masking off the areas and spraying the trim pieces without removing it from the vehicle.

Any thoughts?

If it looks terrible and tacky, I can peel it off and order the painted front grills and side vents.

I would remove them to spray If I were you. The crime also separates so no taping. It's pretty simple and would also cover better. If you don't like it just have them vinyl wrapped. I did mine and it looks great!!

Looking forward to it. I'll be covering behind the grill and all around it. I'm afraid I'll break tabs while I try to remove it from the bumper.

You should be fine. Seriously they just pop right out. It's so easy it actually kinda makes you wonder about someone stealing them.
