Also, that looks really good! It's all the little details that really bring a car together for me and stuff like that really make it stand out from the typical 'silver & black' color schemes you see where people just put black wheels on their car or whatever.

Did my medallion tonight, so I think I've got all the chrome done now.
Rather than mask off right around the edges I used the same technique as I did with the GT badges, masking a box around the medallion. Came out perfect.

Any tips? Did you tape, spray, then peel back the tape on each round of spraying?

Take a look at post #25, and my emblem how to at post #3, I used the same technique on the emblems as I did on my medallion and it worked perfect. Using that technique you don't need to tape/peel/retape with each coat.

I just taped it of and sprayed a few coats, then I got a razor blade and cut the tape were it meets the plasti dip to get a straight line, just be careful and don't cut ur paint. But I used to paint for a living so I'm pretty particular on how it looks, I hate if it nit perfectly straight lol

Oh, my mistake then! If it were me, I'd peel the tape back a little between coats doing that part,just because the thought of taking a razor to my paint makes me nervous.
