I think people will be interested in knowing the source of the vinyl, online, Home Depot, whatever (me including).

For those who have chrome window trim, how well do you think this will apply to that?

A friend of mine does stickers on the side, so he has a supplier...i could ask him who they are, so i just bought my vinyl from him

as for the chrome window trim...this can be easily tackled the same way i vinyl'd my car...just apply the vinyl onto the trim and squeegee it down...use an Xacto knife to trim round the edges and there you have it...

you can also remove the trim...Its attached by some type of double sided block tape...not sure whats it called, but its basically like double sided tape...

What an incredible act of patience! I am completely amazed! Great job..... You could make a killing doing that!

How hard was it to make it look "seamless"? I was wondering if you had bought like 6 ft wide vinyl at first lol. How do you handle the edges of each panel? (just wrap under and stick?

Also, I'm in Southern California, If your friend is willing, I'm sure there are many people here that would buy vinyl through him, me included (not necessarily matte black)

Great job...never seen anything like this and the best part you can go back to oem paint whenever u feel like it ...nice..

to_riffic · 04-20-2010, 09:43 PM

i'd like the name of the type of vinyl too. i may be goin with oracle series 970RA because it has the new air pocket technology..
