If anyone has any experience with this process I'd appreciate some knowledge sharing, I just had an estimate for getting this painted at local dealership they said they dont recommend it because the paint will come off due to adhesion issues on the chrome. I just wanted to get my window chrome painted bodycolor(darkside metallic).

I know plastidip is an option but I wanted something more professional.  I thought they could just lightly sand the chrome to handle adhesion issues.

Anyone know the ford P/N for this chrome trim so I can lookup the price

thanks,
-Jerry

Good question, I think someone here had it done professionally by taking the chrome off and had it wrapped. I am also curious, I can not recall, but i think i saw a PI with black strips around the door. I wonder if ford has a part number for the PI vehicles and if it should fit without issues...

If you can get a used piece of trim, try Dremel'ing it with sandpaper and check the adhesion of the product of your choice after.  If it works, pay close attention to the trim if not actually removing from vehicle for sanding.

I believe the trim can also be wrapped (vinyl) if you wanted to go that route.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

SHOdded is correct,do not remove any of the mouldings,think your best option would be to have them powder coated,also heres a link to the mouldings.  Z    http://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2014/ford/taurus/sho-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/body-cat/exterior-trim-front-door-scat                               http://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2014/ford/taurus/sho-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/body-cat/exterior-trim-rear-door-scat

Any pics from when it was taped up? Curious as to how you did it. Been wanting to paint mine and get rid of the Plastidip.

Don't have a pic all taped up. I also did the grill with it. I really didn't do too much masking up lol. I used a big piece of cardboard and moved it as I sprayed lol. I used PB blaster to clean up the overspray, came right off. Don't have the car anymore fyi

I think i said it once before, and I'll say it again, it just looks sick with the black vinyl wrapped around the chrome.

Thanks for the info, vinyl wrap sounds interesting.  I'm in bucks county pa, anyone know a shop that does that sort of thing near me?

DO WANT!  Was that grill pretty pricey? I wonder how easy the swap is.
