Black Look Grille for Audi Q5

Model: Audi Q5 MK 1, 8R - Years 2008-2017
Part: Trim cover

If you want to give your car a more aggressive and modern look, you can transform some chrome elements such as the front grille, the manufacturer's emblem, the caps of the side mirrors, and maybe even the wheels by painting them matte black. A suitable product for this job is Plasti Dip, which is a paint that creates a film like a true rubbery coating that can also be removed without damaging anything. Therefore, there is no need for special care in masking the surrounding areas, but it is important to clean the surfaces to be treated. Once multiple coats of Plasti Dip are sprayed, wait for it to dry and remove any excess.
