Well,its nothing special but some days ago,i finally got around doing this to my
E30 and turned out to be fine I guess...not perfect,but acceptable,bearing in mind I do all of this as a hobby!

Please feel free to comment or share tips/tricks about it...

And a final overall photo of my 318i...

So,what do you think?!?
I had also painted the wheels (semi gloss black) and after 7-8 months there s not a single chip anywhere on them!

Yeah I like it too... I've been thinking of doing the side chrome.... The back and front glass was easy for me, I went to a hobby shop and bought two black paint pens and colord the brown in two coats each, very inexpensive and easy to touch up!!!!!

Its nothing hard really...you just need paper tape and lots of patience!
You must be thorough and pay attention to detail when using the tape and when spraying and that s all really...!
Thanks for the comments...

You guys are doing it the hard way... Use 3M Tape. Its part number 73093. Its the same material they use for pin striping, except its 3/4 inch wide, and its a satin black. I can shodow line a car in no time. Plus if you ever want to take it off, all you have to do is peel it back off.
