Using some duplicolor shadow, I'm taking a whack at tinting my front grille of my 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. This product could work with any sort of chrome you want to tint or blackout. Make sure you subscribe for more videos and leave a like if you enjoyed.

I've used this stuff to tint taillights, and it works beautifully!!! The subtle changes between coats let's you get just the tint your looking for without goin to dark with just one or two coats. Give it a shot folks you'll be impressed.

@@dogfeva4319 I used it on taillights. Chrome wheels and chrome bumpers I assume would be a very similar coating if not the same thing. So just use the directions as directed I guess.

When spraying, from a gun or a rattle can. Always go all the way to the edge of your parts before you stop your spray, it will be a lot less work for you, and your job is gonna look better because you'll have even coats with each passes. Good job btw looks great! Cheers mate!!!

@misdirectionuntold2510 2 года назад

Used this on my silverado. Rear bumper came out great. Still there. The front grille and bumper came out nice but almost appeared blueish strange as that may seem. Ended up just sanding it all down and going black.. it definitely Holds up well I think…. I would recommend it. Four coats is almost better but will appear less chromish.

@robertprice9052 4 года назад

Looks good! Two things: practice on a separate object first to see how a product works. Second, start spraying off object then cross over in one smooth stroke. Back and forth in small areas can give uneven finishes or dry spots from over spray. No ding, just trying to help. You did a good job! Looks awesome!

@jeffruebens8355 4 года назад

I used a plasti-dip type spray paint with a blasted titanium finish. The rough finish and mix of black and gray colors helps hide bug guts on the front of the vehicle. After 6 months, a little has come off, but in an even, good looking pattern. Eventually it will be easy to sand and paint over.

@x-man5056 5 лет назад

I tried using that product and didn't get the results I was looking for. There was too much black pigment in the color can and it came out too opaque for what I wanted. Didn't like the texture it left either but never got to the clear. Your results look better, at least in the light you were in. The sun gives a whole different perspective sometimes.

@megaman4201 4 года назад

for pushing down the edge of your tape, almost anything else works better than a metal object, plastic squeegee is wonderful, plastic scraper, your fingernails, the little cardboard wrap around a single edge razor blade, even a piece of tape wrapped around itself several times to make it thicker and stiffer works well...you don't want to use something sharp like a screwdriver, potential to scratch the surface your masking and also has a tendency to tear the edge of the tape.

@PatrickHenry911 3 года назад

Me too. I would think using steel wool or a fine grit sandpaper first, then primer and/or adhesion promoter first would be a more permanent solution for blacking out chrome.

@iiviijj5893 3 года назад

@@PatrickHenry911I agree, to have it more durable. I want to preserve the original chrome on a bull bar I would bypass using steel wool and do adhesion promotor already? To protect original chrome, I'm thinking to have layer of rubberized coating and blacken it out with applied adhesion promotor before paint.

Doing that on a chrome plated plastic won't work or help, those Duplicolor cans have a self etch in them that makes them adhere.

@KCnLex 3 года назад

It isn't really black, it looks more like a graphite which looked cool and was better than chrome.. Did you find a product that gives you shiny black finish? I want to cover trim where I couldn't replace it with black trim and have used vinyl in some places, but if it is curved, it is a pain to get vinyl on properly. Replacement trim can often be really cheap looking so I hoped that spray painting the OEM chrome trim might be a better idea

Great video, thanks for sharing! After seeing this, I am leaning towards doing something like this to my chrome bumper as well. I think it gives it an updated look and seeing that you can adjust as to how much tint you want applied, it makes it even better. Please update us on how it is doing now seeing as you did this about 9 months ago. I saw another comment that said it changed color on them after a while. Is your's still looking the way it did when you first applied it? I would really like to know how its holding up. Thanks again for the great video!
