    Question Blackfire Coating On Trim, Chrome, Plastic, Glass?

    --- Has anyone tried Blackfire Coating on Trim, Chrome, Plastic, Glass, or anything else besides a clear coated surface?

    --- What were the results with it?

    --- If you got some on there by accident during application process, how did you remove it from those pieces?

    Thanks!

    BF Crystal Coat was formulated specifically for painted finishes, but a lot of people have experimented applying it to various exterior finishes.

    Any HARD surface (ie: chrome, plastic) should be fine, but I would test a small, inconspicuous area on pebbled textured plastic trim first. If you decide to test it out on glass, do a small section first (outside of the driver's line of site) to get the hang of it.

    Re: Blackfire Coating On Trim, Chrome, Plastic, Glass?

    Dear Friend,

    Good answer you already got above, I can add my 2 cents,

    I'm a frequent user of pinnacle Black Label line of coatings, and none of them are intended for use on trim as well (maybe the surface?).

    However, from my testing and experience it works amazing on trim and any other surface.

    What I can advance is to do a thorough cleansing (my favorite (by far) is Meguiar's #39 heavy duty cleaner), them apply the coating. Best way for me is to apply product into a MF towel then spread over piece, them remove residue with a clean towel.

    Your trim will look not only restored but will bead water and offer easy cleansing like a coated surface should be. I also apply on rubber (same cleansing, same effect). The looks are fantastic for me, factory matte / clean. For chrome it works as well.

    I know products are different, but I felt important to share my experience applying coating to trim, it's (in my opinion) way better than most trim dressings available for that task that will wash away.

    (PS: Controversy occurs with people considering trim too much porous for the coating to adhere, etc, etc, etc. Again, in my opinion, theory is a thing, practice is another thing).


    Do your testing,

    Hope that helps,

    Kind Regards.

    I use it on factory powder coated brake calipers and have had good luck with it on powder coated rims.

    Tato, Thanks for your input. I figured someone had to have tested it at least once. I will be testing it out myself!

    Smokinss, How long would you say an application usually lasts on those spots given the heat and brake dust?

    I appreciate everyone's experiences!
