I plasti dipped all the chrome on my car. I did the Toyota emblems, corolla emblem, and the S logo (covered up the red part). Even did that chrome strip in the front you're talking about. I did 4 coats of black dip and 2 coats of glossifier. Be careful with the glorifier because it can bubble up and run if you're too close. Glossifier has UV protection so it won't fade and makes it a little more satin black than a matte black.
