Precut Chrome Trim Delete Kit?
#17
Yeah, I was planning to get someone to do my roof and probably side chrome as well. Materials are relatively cheap, but I've never done it and lack the skills to cut straight lines to begin with, and being a perfectionist would likely end up having someone redo it.

Thanks, emailed him and sent him the link to this thread. He says there he needs 5-10 people in order to run a batch.

That assumes they're using good vinyl. I guarantee its garbage. ive wrapped a few cars before. Go with rolls or strips. You'll still need a heat gun, super sharp dedicated razor pens, lots of practice and patience to get this job pristine.
This is what I used with ultra supreme results. This and only This. You'll need two rolls for a complete window trim job. A third for the grill. and you'll have plenty left over.
This vinyl is SUPER glossy. 98% like paint. And very very durable. I've tried others and was so junk looking. VVIVID IS IT

Here's the gloss on Vvivid gloss black. These are on my CT mirrors. (the base has 3M on them still, you can see the difference. I'm a bit lazy and have to re-do the bases some day) It's been almost a year and still super glossy. not even scratches on it. i honestly don't know how they made the vinyl this good. and for the record, the bend of the mirror makes me appear larger than i really am. i promise you i'm not that large. lol

So you've compared VVivid directly with 3M, Avery, and others and found it to be best, or at least a better gloss black?

Okay so update, I got them in hand, pieces look fine. I start trying to put them on, I did buy a car wrap kit it was like 10bucks on Amazon that was a must, I have a heatgun as well, another important step is cleaning the surface with alcohol! it took me about 2-3 hrs to put them on, is it perfect? No. There is some slight imperfections but it did come out solid and i’m actually pretty happy with it!!! Would definitely recommend.
