5.0 out of 5 stars 1992 Chrysler LeBaron Landau
An excellent product! Easy to work with and lasts a long time. If only I had a garage, the sun wouldn't take its toll on it. It did take a couple of years for the sun to do its fading process but there was never any peeling. When it faded, I just rechromed the molding and looks as good as new.
5.0 out of 5 stars A lot better than I expected.
Someone bumped the front bumper of my car and damaged the chrome trim. I tried variable "chrome" paint in the can, but none of them worked. The best these spray cans can do is create a brushed aluminum look, NOT anywhere close to chrome looking. Don't even waste your time and money with the spray chrome. The only real way to do it is to find someone who can chrome plate, which is expensive. So I decided to try a chrome wrap.I was hesitant to buy this wrap, because some of the reviews complained about finish, some complained about this wrap doesn't work well on curved surfaces, and others complained about the durability of the finish. But the reviews were still better than all the other wraps I could find, si for $10, it was worth a try.I didn't have too much issues with the 3 concerns listed above. Perhaps, it's because the trim I needed to wrap is thin and to get this wrap to work with it was pretty easy, but at least for my application, it was great. I'll comment each of the 3 concerns based on my experience.1. Chrome finish quality: This wrap is definitely shiny like chrome. It has slight texture up close, but from 1-2 feet away, can't really tell. The wrap is very thin and you need to make sure the underlying surface is very smooth because the slightest imperfection will show. I found this out the hard way because I didn't sand smooth the trim piece I was wrapping so the first one, while acceptable looking ,wasn't good enough for my standards.2. Ease of wrapping curved surfaces. I didn't have that much difficulty dealing with the curve of the trim piece. First, remove the plastic protective layer. The wrap itself is flexible, but the protective clear film on top is not, so remove it. For me, it helped to stick a small piece of the wrap in the middle of the curve, and stretch the wrap along the shorter side and then stretch the side on the longer side. The wrap can stretch ok to a point, just don't go overboard. Also, i chose to do a "wrapped edges" approach. Basically I cut the wrap much larger than the trim piece and stretched and wrapped around the edges and in back of the trim piece. This helped keep the wrap around the curve and edges clean.3. Durability of finish. I thought the wrap was pretty durable, but since it is going to be used on the front bumper, I put a small clear bra PPF film on top of it made by Xpel that I had leftover.Overall for $10 and a 3 tries, I think it came out pretty good. Better than spending $100 on a new trim or money to get it chrome plated...
4.0 out of 5 stars Gets foggy if you heat or stretch it.
I applied it to aluminum trim and frame for a custom beer/soda tap setup.Practice and patients! Expect to do it at least 2 times before applying a final wrap to get a feel for it and the best way to apply without stretching it very much.This was the 1st vinyl wrap I've done and it turned out pretty good with practice, the nice thing about vinyl is you can just peel it off if you screw it up. I noticed if it was heated too much during application or stretched too much it dulled and the mirror effect was foggy. I learned through practice that applying cold and not stretching too much, it has a very reflective shine. I heated the backside of the aluminum after to assure adhesion but I don't know if this product requires heat to activate the adhesive like other do.My only complaint is that the adhesive leaves a very slight grid pattern that shows through the shine of the chrome. You do have to look unusually close to see it, but hell how I used it it saved me a ton of time and money over actual chrome plating several metal pieces. Realistically no one looks that close at most shiny things from several feet away and most don't have the eye to see it.Will you make a "chrome show car" or even trim with this? No. I wouldn't trust it to weather at 70MPH and it will never get as smooth or mirrored as a quality auto paint or chrome job. Basically you get what you pay for and this is cheap for a decent look. Use it modestly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stretches into complex shapes, stays super shiny and smooth
Easy to work with, even on complex shapes. I had to replace the grill on my Mercedes, and the replacement came with a black star emblem. It’s about 5” in diameter, and the OEM star was chrome plated. I used this to replicate the chrome plating on the tri star, it stretched and smoothed out very nicely into every crevice, you’d never be able to tell the star is not OEM. Note that you do need to remove the clear film on the display side in order to get it to stretch correctly, but once I did that it worked flawlessly, super shiny and smooth with no bubbles or creases.
3.0 out of 5 stars Be careful
Looks nice, Bought to go over my little bumper reflectors. Adhesive was so strong it ripped my paint right off. 😂 So… Yeah. Be careful. I probably won’t use it again
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price!
Not a professional at all but this wrap is very forgiving and great for starters. I like the fact that it works with you rather than against you. I would definitely recommend it.
1.0 out of 5 stars only for flat surfaces, it will wrinkle over the curves but price and quality is good
Product was well packed with no defaults. It was nearly easy to apply even if it was my first try. I did the handles and Morris of my Jimny. Art the beginning of was near to perfect. 1 hour after it started to wrinkle. Nothing to do about it except cut 1 inch. Now it wrinkle a little and in not sure it will hold. I have to say I did prepare the substrate with cleaning with alcool before. Finally over the handles it look clean but on the mirror you can see orange peel effect. It is good from fat but far from good.. I think overall this product was not good for this application, but it is not a bad products, just avoid curves and for a regular project it has a good quality/price.
5 stars.
I also bough other 4 wraps depend on review and price but this is the best quality. Doesn't regret to buy it, will buy it again.
Good but didn’t quite work out.
Nice material. Handled quite well wrapping smaller parts but didn’t conform to smaller details that well. Also the finish had some hazing to it from handling so looked more like aluminum than chrome. Thin protective layer on the top helps but still marked when handling.
Fools everyone
People don't notice it's not chrome. Gets hazy as you stretch it. Wanted to do a test run with a cheap vinyl. Looks awesome
Not the best
Tried using this for a door handle that was peeling chrome, it works but peels away after a few days and Im not going to constantly keep replacing it; Im going to try to tape the back to try and keep it from pealing. If I also used this for my frame around my gear shift and it worked great, but I wouldnt use it from door handles on your car. Btw there is a plastic over the "chrome" make sure you remove that before heating it up because it will ruin the material.
This vinyl is backed with a thin aluminum foil glued on the vinyl
Used it too make graphics on my pickup but the quality is so bad that I removed it . The foils bubble back the vinyl looking very bad .Redoing it with other brands and now is very good .Avoid this product
