For some reason I get more black Audis than anything else. The owner of this black Audi B8 S4 sedan had me vinyl wrap the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim in my matte black finish vinyl material. With the matte black finish, for a black car, it gives the trim more of a contrast versus gloss black, which would just blend in with the finish/paint of the already black car. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

The owner of this new white Audi A6 had me black out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim on the car in my gloss black vinyl material. I think the gloss black finish went fairly well with the car and changed the look of the car completely, even for such for it being a relatively simple and small piece. He drove out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

For this white Audi A4 B8 sedan, I vinyl wrapped the roof in my gloss black vinyl material. In addition to the roof, I also blacked out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim, but with my matte black vinyl materials instead of the gloss black for those pieces. The gloss black roof really gave the car a sportier look without making it look too modified or aftermarket. It looks like as if it is something that could have came from the factory like this. The owner of the car drove out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County from Los Angeles to get the vinyl work done.

For this black Audi SQ5 SUV, I blacked out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim, roof rail racks, side mirrors and the grey center sections in the front area of the grill. We went with the gloss black to have it blend in and match the already gloss black finish and color of the car. For the mirrors, I wrapped the gloss black material up until the line/indentation on the mirror caps themselves. The owner was local to me in Orange County, and we were able to figure something out where I came to his shop location and did the install there for him.

In addition to vinyl wrapping, I have started offering plasti dipping services.

I did quite a bit of work on this Black Mercedes Benz E350 blutech. I blacked out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim, lower chrome door pieces, and rear trunk chrome bar with my gloss black vinyl material, lightly smoked/tinted the tail lights, plasti dipped the wheels, rear badges, and front grill. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the front grill after I was done. The owner of this car came from San Diego up to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work and plastidip work done on his car.

I am not sure who asked me, but someone on this forum asked about how my tint/smoke film that I typically use on tail lights would look like if it was applied over a chrome finish, to give it a gunmetal chrome or hyper black type finish/look to it. What I did for this car is probably going to be close or similar to that as it is going to get for the moment, unless someone does come by to actually have me apply the film over their chrome pieces.

This is something different and new that I haven’t done before. I had blacked out the chrome trimming on this Lexus IS350 sedan in the past, but this time the owner of the car had me apply my tint/smoke film, which is what I normally use on the tail lights I’ve posted, to the front center emblem of the car to slightly tone it down. The pictures I took of it inside aren’t the best, since the lighting was pretty dark. However, you can still get an idea of how it looks like before/after the film was applied.

The owner of this black Audi A4 B8 sedan had me black out the chrome window trim on his car with my matte black vinyl material. There was a small fire somewhere after the car was done, so it caused the pictures to have a weird hue in them, so don’t mind that. Either way, I think the matte black finish over the chrome completely changed the look of the car on this black Audi. It gave the car a sporty look while still looking OEM and like it came from the factory that way. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl wrap work done.

Had this white Audi a4 sedan come in a bit late, so the pictures aren’t the greatest, since I had to take the pictures inside. For this car, we went with the gloss black vinyl finish for the roof of the car, to give it the panoramic roof look and so that it’d match the glass sunroof as well. The car already had blacked out the majority of the other chrome pieces on the car, so the gloss black roof really tied everything in very well. The owner of this car was from around Los Angeles I believe and came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

This is a repeat customer of mine from one of my norcal/bay area trips. I typically make trips up there 2-4 times a year, depending on how busy I am down here in socal. I have had people in other areas, such as the east coast ask if I will be making a trip out there, and I do have some future plans in the works for that. For this silver/grey Audi A8, he had me wrap the chrome trim/accent on the rear bumper with the 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber finish, to give it a slightly different look. It’s a small subtle change, but it does give the car a slightly more aggressive and sportier look, to an otherwise larger luxury styled car.

I blacked out the chrome window trim on this black Audi A5 coupe with my matte black material. For this car, we went with the matte black finish over the gloss black finish to give it some contrast with the gloss black paint on the car. This was one of the cars that I did during my trip up to norcal/bay area. The matte black trim went well with the darker colored wheels as well. Completely changed the look of the car and gave it a more aggressive/sporty look, while still maintaining an OEM look as well.
