Branchinho Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have a 14 plate Ford Fiesta and want to de chrome the strip just below the windows on both sides black but my options are gloss black (which I think won't match the rest of the black plastic door trim surrounding the windows) satin black which I think looks to light or matte black which is obviously much darker and not really shiney. I'm leaning towards matte black but would love to know what you guys think! Basically I just want it to match the rest of the black plastic door trim!!! 馃憤馃徎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemart2 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 You could always leave it as is Ignore me, maybe 50 years back I'd have wanted to do the same. Actually no, back then I got my 850 rust-bucket mini to look like a rust-bucket (but with an 1100 block and 1300 box) and pull away from the lights like a bat out of hell 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branchinho Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Haha! I just feel now the rest of the car is black the chrome looks odd. I had no problems about the de chrome until they asked me what type of black!! That stumped me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Gloss/piano black.聽 Matt black parts always look like you've bought a can of poundland paint imo... 聽 Personally I like chrome accents but I know most don't lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1tch Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 There are threads where people have changed to gloss black - looks really smart and OEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
