Default Its called Plasti -Dip I picked it up from Home Depot it comes in a spray can.

Very durable. I removed the chrome audi rings and the S4 badge and sprayed the grill. I did it on my B5 S4 as well turned out perfect. It rubber coats it so it doesnt chip. It's only like 3 bucks a can. You only need two cans to do the front

Default You can use the same stuff on your rack rails.

So you did the whole grill not just the trim?

Default I did not have to - yet

mine are black but I have a couple of chips, there is chrome under the black! It feels and looks just like plasti-dip.

I also black out my grill a couple of weeks ago but I used just some paint, its already chipping. I only did the trim. Can you hook up a closer shot of the whole gril painted?

I might just shoot the whole grill so I dont brake off any trim tabs!

Your car is dead sexy. Cant wait to see the rails and the mirrors done. What about the trim around the windows??
