Looking good, but having been really proud of my efforts at wrapping my fog lamp chromes yesterday, today it's started bubbling, so I reckon it's either plastdip or taking it to a pro.
Best of luck with your grille.

I think using gloss rather than satin put you at a disadvantage, it'll show every crease. I don't know whether to go to a pro or try this:

Although the black satin finish vinyl wrap looks ok on my foglight chromes, as I said in another post the chrome 'wings' on the grille either side of the badge were too 3-D to be able to wrap them. I've just ordered some of this: https://www.frost.co.uk/liquid-wrap-...aerosol-400ml/ apparently it's more wear resistant than plastidip (search 'frost liquid vinyl' on YouTube, there's a biker who has done a side-by-side comparison)
Hoping to try it out in the next week or so, if it works on the grille I may strip off the vinyl from the foglights and spray them too.2018 1.5T SRi Nav

Yeah, definitely looks better now. Have you found that the vinyl smooths out over time?2018 1.5T SRi Nav
