I wanted to do vinyl but I didnt think I could do it without bubbles, so I painted it and its holding up pretty well.

Mine's not black. Just the opposite, actually. But anywho, it was painted white. Looks great and has been resilient to any rock chips, etc.

So I'm just going to be doing the faded black portion not any of the chrome. All you have to do is prep it like cleaning with alchohol and then applying with a heat gun?
