Hey everyone so I've bin trying to wrap my chrome window trims I thought I'd start with the bottom piece with the seal on the top and bottom. The problem I'm having is when I cut alone the seal in some spots I'm getting a line of chrome and that just won't do for me it would bother me every time I got in and out of the car. Anyone have some tips for me I see a lot of people have done it but I don't see any tips and tricks.
Since you have the pieces off, can you remove that seal? If not, try a heatgun to stretch the vinyl out some to cover it.. Or the easy/crap way would be to plastidip the trim and then wrap it. It would just make a slightly less noticeable if you cant stretch it to cover
Yea I wasn't able to stretch it out with messing it up so I ripped it off and will try again. These are the only pieces I'll be taking off the car. The only reason I took these off is because it was to cold in the garage. The seal is glued on and doesn't even really move at all making it very difficult to get the vinyl under it. Good thing I bought a shit load of vinyl haha
I would but the other pieces aren't going to be coming off. I have a coupe and the rear quarter glass is part of the trims so that can't come off. I just took this piece off because it was easy and to cold in my garage at the time to work on the car.
mine are "wrapped" done by preivious owner, but it looks like poo, im thinkin bout plasti dipping but gonna try it on some other stuff so i can get the smoothest coats possible
I have had a chance to do it yet. The plan was this weekend unfortunately I got sick Friday and probably won't get to it. I will post pics when I get it done though.
That is the best idea I have heard in a long time...thanks red for the reminder. The B pillar on my wagon is factory wrapped as well. looking for the same textured semi-flat wrap. have not found a 3M that matches.
Just started mine last weekend.
Get the wrap laid down except the edges and use a squeegee (stiff like a credit card) and push it up to the seals as best you can and just cut slow with a brand new blade for each one.
I did this and don't really see any gaps.
