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

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...

Hard to rate the thickness because I liked the thickness in that it wasn’t too thick or too thin for the project I used it for. it’s sturdy. its got a grid and ruler measurements whatever on the back so you can mark your measurements which that’s helpful. I personally struggled with applying it because I tried to take the back all off at once which it doesn’t suggest that, but I did before and that was a waste. Follow instructions and I do suggest you find like a drivers license card or something that some doesn’t have any raised bumps like a credit card, or You could use on one of those plastic I scrapers nothing with razors nothing sharp but did you get the idea and you would hold it at an angle smoothing out any bubbles that pop up as you take the back off and apply it to whatever surface you are applying it to. then smooth it out as you go to get any bubbles out and it will come out-in fact do this from now on when applying anything that’s permanent to get bubbles out. I find the drivers licsense or this plastic tool that my husband uses at work-he tints cars windows with film but get one of those those are gonna keep everything in ur simple and stress free. But lay it down and try to smooth it out just likely a little bit out at a time

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.

Works for the project I wanted it for.

Will last for about 1 year then starts to crack and rip in the middle

That it works great and looks great

When cutting the vinyl bubbles and separated

Works well on my Cricut Explore 5. Because it's an inch short of 13, I used the adhesive mat and was able to run my vinyl decal cuts perfectly. Weeding was a snap. I recommend this for vinyl decal cutting 100%. As far as durability, that remains to be seen. I'll update this review once a good amount of time has passed. I will have my test decal on my car and will see how it can handle the outdoor elements.

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.

looks great, still waiting to stretch into place

色合いはいいのですが、巻きのところで浮いてしまうとこがありますね。

Pas top très cher et ce d’école facilement mais la couleur magnifique 🤩
