chrome vinyl on plastic trim pieces of a vehical

[Jaymsimon 1]

I had a request to put chrome on window trims (platic) on a car. Has anybody done something like this and what vinyl would I use for this? I would also think that a heat gun would be needed to mold the lines of the plastic?

why not take the trim off and paint it chrome

because chrome paint sucks..  

The thing about chrome vinyl is it doesn't conform well..  Heat won't help. It doesn't stretch or mold. I just did a diagonal strip on a race car, and it was a _itch.  If it's just trim pieces, maybe it won't be too bad..  If there is much complexity to the piece You're gonna have a hell of a time..  on my stripes, I had to cut the vinyl a few times to fit around bends in the fender/roof etc...  Just be prepared.. It's not easy.. and buy good vinyl. In my first crack at chrome i bought some cheap stuff off ebay (never a good idea, i know), and it was 100 times worse.

Exactly what JD7321 said.

I don't offer chrome anymore. I can't stand it.
