i didnt feel like painting, so i just scrapped off the cracked rubber coating with a razor blade and used black electrical tape to cover it up. that was back in april, and that sh!t is still stuck on there, no peeling, etc.

i just used one strip, covering the width and length all the way. i was gonna buy black vinyl, but its pretty much the same thing. you really cant tell its been redone, and it looks 1000000000000000x better than the silver metal with the black coating coming off

Interesting idea. I'd like to see a pic too if possible. Maybe I'll try this on my brother's car.
