Reply to "Planning on blacking-out the trim"

Don Byars used SEM satin black trim paint to black out my polished SS. Trim paint is more flexible than regular satin black and it still looks great after nearly 20 years. That being said, I recently discovered SprayMax 1K Trim Paint - Black Satin (368 0102) and I think it's better than the SEM.

If the trim has been removed and you want a really permanent black coating, check out Cerakote. It's tougher than powder coating and a fraction of the thickness. It started out as a firearms finish but they are slowly branching out into other areas. I recently had my front wiper grilles Cerakoted and I never dreamed they could look so good. I also had my ZF Cerakoted. Some versions of Cerakote don't have to be baked, so they are safe for items that tend to out-gas very badly, such as our OEM Campagnolo wheels.
