I’m planning to wrap the rear gloss black hatch panel and factory silver roof rails on my 2013 Honda CR-V using 3M Matte Black vinyl.

For the rear panel, what is the best way to deal with the recessed Honda emblem? 

For the roof rails, I was planning to remove them and wrap them off the vehicle. They have small square covers over the mounting bolts, and I’m unsure whether those should be wrapped separately and how to ensure they still match once reinstalled.

I have already wrapped my front grille and window trim.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m planning a HyperDip chrome blackout project on my 2013 CR-V and could use some advice before I start.

One thing I’m stuck on is color choice. I’m debating between Shadow Black and Frozen Black, but I’m not sure which would look better with my setup. The front grille has some matte plastic elements, while the rear has more gloss plastic surrounding the chrome trim, so I’m trying to figure out which finish would blend best overall.

I’ve included photos of both the front grille and the rear hatch chrome, as well as a few AI-generated inspiration pics to give an idea of the look I’m going for.

For those of you who’ve done similar projects:

• Does Shadow Black or Frozen Black look better when you’re dealing with a mix of matte and gloss plastics?
• Will one of them clash more with the existing trim?
• Any regrets or things you’d do differently after your blackout?

Appreciate any input, pics, or tips before I commit!

For those of you who’ve done similar projects:

• Does Shadow Black or Frozen Black look better when you’re dealing with a mix of matte and gloss plastics? Or should I just cover all of both surfaces ?
• Will one of them clash more with the existing trim?
• Any regrets or things you’d do differently after your blackout?
