Need Design Advice
 

Would like to know everyone's thoughts on the following.

(I already vinyl wrapped the cpillar gloss black)

1. Go all black on door handles and chrome window trim.
2. Go black on the chrome trim but leave the handles chrome.
3 stay stock with chrome.
4. (not pictured) tint with vinyl or tinted clear coat ALL chrome on the maxima.

Black handles?

Stay stock.

I'd say go all black on the chrome around the Windows, but tint All the other chrome trim

all black, especially gloss, looks nice and clean.

have you thought about using light smoke vinyls on the handles, and maybe the trunk trim as well?

Do door handles white to match the car. Would look gd imo

I am thinking about the smoke vinyl. I have some on hand. Right now what I did on the trim and handle is plastidip for a test look. I had my 11 max all smoked out on the chrome and it looked good. Def recommend doing the cpiller on all lighter colored 8th gens. Should have come like that from the factory on the platinum trim IMO.

I have tried and can't get them to match the tri color paint. Wrap not plastidip matches close enough.

Max is in the shop now getting permanent! I also found some pearl vinyl wrap that is a dead on match to the QAB color. The trunk and door chrome will get that when it is done being painted.

Looks good. White door handles would have looked good too.

White door handles are coming.

yes!

White would look better to match the car...Black looks like those not too long ago entry level trims on some cars where door handles were unpainted....

Almost home

Front splitter is a problem though... hopefully the painter can figure it out.

Getting done.

I choose #!, but if you do this, go with black rims. The silver will detract! If you want the wheels the way they are, then keep the trim and handles the way they are.

Can you give us details on that white pearl vinyl? My car is the same color.

Nice!

Vvivid Space Pearl White Gloss. I tried about 6 different colors, and this one matches the best... almost perfect, just a touch shade of blue pearl, bt hardly noticeable.
