Vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim

[STORMIN08]

i would prefer it to be slightly larger rather than exact...

that said, i i did the quick trial with black electrical tape, not sure i want to wrap mine. usually i am all in for the simple black trim and monochromatic paint...but the chrome has grown on me as it keeps the grille looking correct, i may go with a black and machine wheel instead of our factory all black wheel.

I got the precut pieces because I have the touch of an elephant and know better than to use a sharp instrument near paint. They asked me to send it all back and I'll be getting a refund. Probably just have to get somewhere in town to do it.

I went with the roll and sheet stuff for areas wider than 2in. Use a plastic razor blade. Ask me how I know.

Nice. Clean AF.

Now that I've tinted my windows the chrome trim is bothering me even more.

Thanks. It’s pretty easy. You will learn as you go and might want to redo some like I did, but it’s all pretty easy and cheap.

Did you order normal vinyl and cut it yourself or a precut kit?
I would definitely like to try myself before paying some shop to do it. Got a quote of $250-400 from a local vinyl shop and said no way..

I got quoted 1800 to wrap everything on mine. Lololol. I bought a 2” wide roll of 3m vinyl on amazon or eBay. And a sheet of 1ft x 5ft (or something like that) for areas that would have been too wide. I couldn’t have paid over 50 for everything. I watched a few YouTube videos and just gave it a shot. I said it earlier but I can’t stress enough about using a plastic razor blade.

Appreciate the info! I just ordered a roll off eBay so I can give it a shot myself!
Definitely going to use a plastic razor blade.

Did you need a heat gun?
