Hey Everyone, turned out much better than expected so I thought I’d share. Instead of trying to get the wheel arches in body color, I decided to go in on more black.

7 yr Ceramic coat - did not appear to affect the finish at all.
Window Tint - 35% fronts to match
Chrome Delete (vinyl wrap) - sides and front bumper
Viny Wrapped the Top for the 2 tone look.

So you vinyl wrapped the 2 strips of chrome molding on the side sills and front bumper, is that correct? It looks way better that way.

Somebody said that they vinyl wrapped the KIA logo in black too

 

[OneFiasco]

I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing - only thing different is I would love to delete the chrome in the tailight/non-existent signal indicators

Looks nice! Enjoy!

Yes, just the sides and the front bumper. Left chrome on the tails and logos since I thought it’d bring together the chrome bits on the wheels.

Blacking out the top is my favorite part tho.

Whoa, that black top looks awesome! I think you may be starting a trend!

I didn't notice the black top at first because I was so focused on chrome molding delete on the front and sides. The roof looks cool too.

Is the underside of the roof spoiler still gray or did you black the whole thing?

This would look really sharp on the Snow White Pearl

Part of under side is actually black. It’s a tricky angle so the installer stopped it where the 2 pieces come together. The rear quarter LED is there too and would be a pain to cut out.

Oh snap, your in Knoxville! Hello from Bristol! I've ordered my PPF, but still looking for an installer. Maybe I found my guy.

Looks great! How much was the 7yr Ceramic coat? Full body?

That makes sense stopping where they did.

Bravo those chrome stripes were the first thing i was planning to atrack after my Beasley treatment. Nice work. I pick mine up next week I hope.

Full body. It was about $1500 + tax.

The brand was SB3 with full 7 yr warranty. It’s gets associated with the VIN

Thanks @xcb5. I believe this is their website. I'm guessing you got their Trinity coating.
