Do any of you guys need Vinyl wrapped trim?

SheaButter · 02-22-2016, 12:08 PM

I wrapped my trim to ditch all of that ugly chrome a long time ago and just realized I have extra vinyl that I can do another M3's trim. I don't do it professionally, but I have wrapped trim on over 50 cars for friends.

I know anybody reading this knows what it looks like, but here are a few before and after pics of my personal car. I don't really have a set price, but the amount of gloss black Vinyl is $40 so I'm not wrapping your trim for $40 bucks, lol.

Could you do the m5 scheme on our mirror caps? It might require some cutting but I'm not sure.

I'd love to say yes, but stretching vinyl over mirrors would be nearly impossible to add a cut like that, and have it come out symmetrical. Sorry man!

I can always load up the compressor gravity gun to paint it though. I don't do this for the cash, my car is just "complete" so I am itching for more projects

. Stoked my gf picked up a 4 series, now I can whore out carbon fiber parts on it, haha!

Yes! I need the ugly chrome trim on the door handles done op for my e90, pm me!

I might be interested in wrapping a few parts of my smart car. It's a small job. Heh

SV_M3 · 02-23-2016, 03:21 PM

Just got my e93 done two weeks ago and blacked out the rest of the chrome parts. Huge difference, for the better.

It makes SUCH a big difference! How much did you pay for all of it, just out of curiosity? Post up a pic of a before and after, if you have one!

Can you do all the chrome on a Tesla? Including the mirror posts?

Bavarian Beast · 02-24-2016, 01:22 AM

Do you remove the trim to wrap it or do it on the vehicle? I want to do this as well.

Here you go.
1 = Chrome to start (stock photo)
2,3 = Blacked out side markers, grill, hood vents switched to GTS wheels
4,5 = Blacked out trim (might do door handles and fin antenna)

There is a lot more chrome on a Tesla so it would definitely take longer, but the results would be identical. What color is the Tesla? If it's black that would be cool, then the gloss vinyl would match the car and essentially remove the door handle look.

I wrap the exterior trim while it's still on the car, and on the interior trim I remove it to wrap it.

Looks great!

Wrapping my trim was one of the very first things I did.

It's white. Ideally, the trim would be gloss black and the handles would be white too.

I just took a peek at my friend's tesla, and it will be very difficult to wrap it while it's still on the car. Wrapping JUST the exposed part of the handle would be incredibly easy though. And just hope the gloss white vinyl matches your paint. I'd suggest just removing the handles and having them PC'd.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
