*My windows are tinted 20% rear, 35% sides with no tint on the front driver and passenger (got pulled over for the front). Its hard to tell in those end shots when Im shooting directly into the sun. **I would HIGHLY DISCOURAGE taking the trim off the car. I learned from experience it’s almost impossible to take it off without bending or damaging it. And it’s a pain in the ass to put back on.

For anybody planning to do this themselves, hit the vinyl with the heat gun BEFORE you trim the excess with the x-acto knife (but after pushing it in with the squeegee). The heat will cause the vinyl to hug the inner contours and adhere better to the material. If you apply heat after cutting, as shown in this video, you run the risk of it shrinking too much and exposing the underlying chrome you're trying to cover up and it just won't adhere as well. Also, the way the larger chunk of vinyl was used for the rear swooping section near the c-pillar runs the risk of the wind over time peeling back the vinyl. If you insist on doing the wrap in two sections, do that section first, then the longer thin sections over top, that way when the car is travelling forward the long part stepping down the the rear part creates a better transition for the air and no possibility of the air catching underneath and slowly prying it up over time. A better solution though is to buy vinyl tall enough to reach the peak and valley of the trim piece and do it all in one shot so there are no visible transitions.

I did the same on my car, but I used the heat gun to curve the vinyl on the rear corner and I use the same 2" tape, you really do not need to use the big roll. thank you to show the process .

Great video. Really appreciate your honesty, the way you admitted that you're learning and took advice from other videos and appreciate people who do this professionally. Very cool, we need more people like you who aren't trying to act like they know everything.

Video was straight to the point. No bullshit. No showing off ect... and a nice job on the wrap. Well done sir

We gonna skim over the fact that your dad is an absolute beast or....?

Hell yea I’ll need to do this, I just wish they came black from factory on all cars😂

I always watch the adds for the full time, great job and channel Justin!!!

Another great video 🙃 the music and visual shots are always so soothing 🙇🏻‍♀️ thanks for the tips! I'm planning on doing this after finally removing my 5 year stuck on plasti dip... I'm sure it's going to make my car look a lot sleeker than the cheap spray. Thanks again 🙏

I’ve been looking for an answer to blacking our my chrome trim for a while now. Thank you.

Appreciate this video. I was gonna try to shortcut alot of "stuff".......so I'm glad I watched you because I would of been swearing 🤬. Thanks bro

Looks great man! What a difference!

This takes me back to when i did the interior trim of my e90. I covered all the wood trim, plus the center console trim and steering wheel trim. Damn, it looked so good with the brown leather! Got so many compliments! I took my time over 2 days!! It was worth it!!!!!!

Use what’s left of the larger piece to wrap the pillars on the doors beside the windows to make them glossy as well. Did that to my e90 and it almost looks like solid panes of glass on the sides of the car.

Great tip about the larger vinyl piece for the back corner. I have a Grand Cherokee with hard angle in the back corner and the 2" tape is nearly impossible to stretch around that corner without creasing. FYI the reason its more difficult without those gloves is because it looks like you were using glossy vinyl. If you go with a Matte vinyl you don't need gloves. The gloves or a microfiber cloth do come in handy when doing your final heating. Much easier to slide across the surface without burning your fingers and you get a more even finish.

Once I get my own garage (apt living currently) I'm looking forward to DIY projects on my car with your KZfaq guidance.

what i like about this channel is its hella dope bruh

Finally I’ve been waiting forever for him to make this video

Great video. Very helpful. Love what your dad is working on. God bless

Hello Dad! Thank you for having a great son who makes really helpful videos for us!!

Gonna be trying this on my c55 amg in a couple days. This video helped a lot thanks. You seem like a super chill and genuine dude!

Nice job. One of the things I love about my Titan Silver E90 is that the window trim is black from the factory.

Nice job. I have my chrome trim around my windows plasti-dipped, but I plan on vinyl wrapping them in the near future.

I thought this job was going to be difficult after watching this video. I was going to pay someone to do it for me, but the person became unavailable, so I did it myself. Boy am I glad I did. I saved money and it was not as hard as I thought. Thanks for the video Bro.👍

Good tutorial thank. Ive plasti dipped my trim twice now and looking back i shouldve went straight for the vinyl wrap. Honestly looks even easier and better end product.

made the same change to my mazda 3 and still happy with the look of the vinyl

By far the best tutorial, awesome job bro!

You just motivated me to vinyl wrap my car! Thanks for the vid.

Bro in 20 years you are going to listen to yourself working with your father who has been gone for a while and wondering what you were thinking talking about wanting to leave. Life is weird man. Love your dad while you have him

Great video! I will have to try this. Looks easy but you explained it well.👊

Looks good bro. Great video with great explanation about the procedure. Definitely will recommend your video to some of my friends that want to to this to. Im waiting for my amazon package to come in and try it for myself on my F10!

I thought my favorite part was gonna be when you said we can buy off Amazon or we don't have to. Very cool, dad was a great cameo, but the smooth jazz takes the cake. Great video!

You say you've never done this before, but you sure made it look like you've been doing it at least a little while. Nice job. I wish these car dealerships would just make it easy and make the beltline kits in black. Most everyone wants to black it out anyway (at least on the sports/high-end cars)...

You did a really good job man. The car came out great!

Great video! I was on the fence of trying this myself, but after seeing this, I think I'm going to give it a go. Ordering through your links, thanks brother! Great production and editing too btw. The video quality and music are really well done. I think you've found your niche.

This is so helpful!! I feel like I can actually do this myself

Yes!! You finally did it!!

Your dad seems great. Keep being awesome dude.

Awesome video man! Exactly what I was looking for.

Very nicely done looks great I’m getting ready to do the same thing. Hope mine turns out.

Great video man! I love how well you explained it. So doing this on my 335xi haha

Loooks waaay better 🔥🔥 bouta do this to my 2022 330i and I’m going to use your video as reference 🙏🙏

You make it look so easy! Now I want to wrap my own E46’s window trim. 😁

I just painted using duplicolor wheel paint and apply wheel clear coat afterwards. Looks great

Awesome video, pretty helpful. Nice and cinematic too. Good stuff

i vinyl wrapped (in matte CF) the interior trim on my e82 128i m sport and it was definitely a testing of your patience kind of DIY, but it came out great. I would also suggest a hair dryer, to mold the vinyl to the trim.

How am I finding this gem of a channel just now 😮

came out really good man, nice job

Great job on your wrap! Nice!

Clean. Wrapping my pearl impala chrome trim and bow ties

Music choice for u all u videos is just relaxing

Nice video Justin, I was lucky enough to get the black trim on my car but there is a vinyl project I'm looking at doing and your tips are very handy.

It just keeps on getting better and better xD

Came out great bro. About to have this done to my A5.

Fire ass tutorial about to cop all the materials and do it to my mk7 golf 🤝

Hey justin, how would you take care of this wrapping? Should I worry about anything when washing the car? And how long does it stay?

Nice job Bro! Wish my trim was Chrome but it is already black, bummer Turned out out great 👍

Great job! Looks good man!

this guy may not be a pro however I found this one of the best video available on this, great work!

Great video and great work. I’m going to attempt to this on my wife’s 2ng gen Mazda CX-5

Always watching.... getting an 2011 335 tomorrow

Great video man! I think I could probably do this myself. I'm sure it would be a lot cheaper than having a shop do it!

Thanks for the upload

LOOKS GOOD MY FRIEND

Just in the process of getting my shit together to do this to my car, great video and some handy tips! Loving the music too

You could tint the back windows as well it it Looks awesome imo

Thinking on doing the same on my e60 Bmw great video!!

The final look is great ☺

came out great bro. good job!

love your vids dude, you rock !!

Wow that looks awesome! Great job

Extremely useful! Thanks!

Looks so much better 👍🏻

Btw, a car audio project would give you tons of content. Headunit installation, wiring, amp and subs. 5-7 videos easily.

Hi Justin! Big big fan of your videos!!! This one in particular I have a question? Any ideas if this technique and materials would work on traditional black rubber molding NOT chrome, but the rubber window trim that most cars have? Thanks a ton for the advice!!!

I love your character on the show Younger.

I actually thought you would do the whole project without a heat gun!!! Nice job let's hope it will last longer than the plastidip. Good job.

nice video bro, doing this on my 325ci 06 i’ll let you know how it turns out👍🏽😁

Long time follower and first comment... I wish this video came out last year when I tried doing the same thing to my E90 335xi. I watched a couple of KZfaq videos at the time and they made it seem so simple to do. I think the biggest take away from this video is using the masking tape, gloves, and knowing not to stretch the wrap!

How do you make the transition from one piece to another when they arent at the edge of an actual piece of trim? (ie when you used the larger sheet for the curve into the 2" for the rest of the top). Thanks for any info!

The lofi though 😍😍

Awesome video man! Get some window tint for you car dude, it would look sick!

This came out so nice babe!

Excelente trabajo, me encanta tu auto!!! Good job, I love your car!!!

Great video, thank you! Happy to support you, will follow the links you provided.

Hey Justin thanks for this amazing vid. I am always very happy with your DIY’s but could you please tell me how much tape and big roll of wrap u used? I find it hard to calculate how much i need..🧐

This came out so awesome man! Old video but gotta respect

Your video is awesome and amazing 👏 bro, You're a great lecturer.

Looking at doing this to a 428i...do you think a 2" roll will work along with 1 or 2 5x3' sheets to do the back portion of the chrome (luxury line). Looking to do the back window (both sides) using a sheet...covering the boomerang like curve, then a simple strip to do bottom of the doors and then possibly another strip for the top of the doors...do you think a 2" strip will work for the upper door trim...will I be able to make that curve...should i be ready to apply a heat gun as I begin to drop towards the mirror and bottom edge? Thanks for all the help

This was well overdue 👍

Hey Justin do you or anyone else have any recommendations on how to get plastidip off that trim safely? I had the same problem with the weather destroying it and was wondering if you had learned any tricks. Thanks love the videos !!

Probably gunna do this to my CHB XSE. I like having the top trim but damn the silver cladding around the grill

Nice work and the music 👍🏻

Great video I think you need a front lip it would make nice

You snapped bro

Strong work!

You go boy!! Salutations. Video master class.

Was one roll of the 2' x 5' enough to cover trims on both windows?

nice video and way better looking with your vinyl setup

Great vid Buddy. Thank you
