Car Wrap Vinyl 11.81 Inches x 60 Inches Chrome Mirror Silver Self Adhesive Film DIY Decals Roll Air Release Technology

Not perfect but WAY better than any spray-on stuff I've tried. The reflectivity is indeed very close to real chrome, although on small parts I get a slightly pebbly surface. I expected the product to be much thinner, and I didn't really get the stretchiness I'd hoped for. I think this stuff's specialty is with larger objects. There were no instructions, so I found out by accident that you must remove a clear plastic coating on the shiny surface. My project involved installing a small black-and-white TV in a custom car, so I fabricated and cast several copies of a new panel to match the surrounding chrome dashboard. The Spaz Stix spray I tried for this job looked okay on its own, but awful next to real chrome (no slam against Spaz Stix, it's just the nature of it). It was not easy wrapping the panel with the Vinyl Frog product, as there are many tight and compound curves. I made lots of pie-cuts to try to accommodate, then epoxied the edges, which weren't sticking well by themselves. My 1st effort was okay, the 2nd slightly better. I think I'll keep looking for a thinner product with more stretch, but as is, it's way better than what I had before. As for how it'll do in the hot sun at car shows? We'll see.

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...

Fist time using vinyl wrap, this stuff applies fairly easily. You're going to want a legit heat gun for this to get it to wrap curved surfaces properly, there are cheap heat guns on amazon. Positives: -Easy to use and results in a very nice look. Once you learn how to apply it, you can cover a variety of shapes and surfaces. -It's very forgiving, you can un-stick and re-stick it to get it right on odd shapes. -It stuck to several different surfaces in my use, plastic, paint, chrome. -Bubbles weren't a problem at all. You can either smooth them out or hit it with the heat gun to better form the vinyl to the shape. -This vinyl wrap is a good way to get a very uniform finish that can be difficult with paint, not to mention wraps have colors that can't easily be accomplished with paint (like this color effect). Negatives: -I didn't measure the length of I actually received, but there was a 12"x12" square rolled inside my tube while the main roll was outside the tube. I am not sure if this 12"x12" square was part of the 60" length I was supposed to receive, but be aware if you actually need the full length advertised. I used smaller pieces so I cut what I needed from the main roll. -The purple isn't as apparent as the product photos show. The lighting has to be just right to see lots of purple. I think if I had a light source for my photo that was coming from behind the object, more purple would be visible. Still a nice "chameleon" effect and it looks better in person. The primary teal color looks great on its own. -I also wish the matte was more smooth. The surface has a "grainy" look to it, but I think that's the nature of the chameleon color changing effect. -It will scratch, as easily if not more so than paint, so keep that in mind for your intended use. Overall a very nice product and resulted in a great finished project I am proud of.

Great wrap for e-bike forks, adds a great look. Not only this, but it’s very easy to cut and has great durability, rain does not wash the chrome finish away, it can stretch easily as well and reflects perfectly for a chrome build. Awesome for any type of vehicle.

The product is not easy to use for a beginner. It sticks immediately upon contact, making it difficult to work with.

Horrible !!!

Needed to partially wrap a scuffed chrome part and it did the job perfectly. While you can see a slight diffrence between this wrap and true chrome up close from a few feet away you wouldn't even know it's there. Has the same kind of shine and reflectivity. Just remember to remove the external protective film once you've applied it! I'd consider this a good quality product for the price if you're looking to add some easy chrome to an object that doesn't paint easily or want it to turn out smooth. It WILL show defects in the material it's laid on so make sure you really smooth and clean the surface you are applying it to!

looks great, still waiting to stretch into place
