Extra can of black would be a good idea to make sure you have enough. May need to touch up. I have also found that a painted part like this tends to chip and fade easier than a factory finish. Like the idea of etching primer.

Etch primer is gona be an absolute must! Also you need to thoroughly sand (400 grit wet + dry) and clean with ace-tone or similar.

Problem is, it’s really difficult to get a quality finish with a rattle-can and it will eventually chip and blister.

I did my 525SEI trim in a professional both, matt black (with the slightest hint of the body colour Lacs Silver mixed in, just to be different!) and then lots of 2-pack clear to cut back.

Looked really good much better than the chrome, but just wasn’t quite as durable as the factory finish on my 540.
