Vinyl wrapping chrome trim?

Has anyone ever tried wrapping the chrome trim along the windows with either matte black or glossy black vinyl?

What about wrapping the door handles?

Better off with painting them instead?

I looked around and saw that a lot of people kept the chrome so yeah just wondering..

some people did palsti dip, some vinyl. i would say vinyl is probably better. it should be ok for the door handle as well..since for a lot of cas that are wrap, their door handles are wrap as well so it should be doable.

I vinyled the window trim but ended up taking it off because it looked too bland with it black.

I dont know, I wasnt feeling it. I actually like the chrome now, and I think it looks good on a dark car. The chrome around the windows shows that they put effort into things rather than just leaving it rubber like on most average joe cars.

That really looks sharp OP! Where did you buy the tint and how much was it? Is it easy to install?
