I want to do a full Chrome delete would it be better to do it myself or have it done

I paid $400 for my lower grill trim, window frames, rear valance accent. ANother $150 for door handles and mirror bottoms. (gloss black vinyl, not paint) 

 

For the grill, you are better off buying another grill and having it stripped/painted vs "Wrapped". as the honeycomb would be impossible to wrap. and the curves of the front grill border are a bit tricky. 

 

You can mask and tape the entire car and paint stuff on the car, but Im not a fan of this method with overspray risk and the paint wont cure very well on the plastic chrome. Vinvyl is a cheap repair/touch up and can be undone as well.

Hi Jgoody, and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum!

 

I agree with DeviLSh. Have it vinyl wrapped, not painted (except for the grill). And have it done professionally, if you can afford it.

 

Or you can try the wrap yourself and see if you like the outcome. There are many How-to videos available online. If it looks good, you saved some money. If not, you can take it to a shop to be professionally done, and you are only out the cost of the vinyl wrap materials you used.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
