2 inches x 25 Feet 3M 1080 2080 Gloss Black Vinyl Wrap Kit for Black Out Chrome Delete Window Trim Door Trim Free Tool Kit  

First time using any kind of vinyl …could not be happier ! Came out great …easy to work with … recommend you get some other tuck tools and squeegee other than what’s included in this set …

I previously installed a Vvivid vinyl blackout kit on my trim. It was somewhat difficult to install and required a bunch of heating to follow the contours of the window trim, but it worked. After a few months, it shrank back, and after a year it was peeling off.I can’t speak to the longevity of the 3M vinyl, but the installation bodes well. The 3M material feels thicker but is more flexible, requiring no heat to follow the contours of my windows. Since it didn’t need to be heated, it didn’t shrink back after a month of temperature fluctuations. The adhesive feels stronger and the process was easier.The knife provided is useless for anything but cutting yourself. I recommend taping it shut and tossing it. Squeegees are always good to have, but on something this narrow you probably don’t need one.Just buy a roll long enough for extra because the process takes time and patience. You’ll likely mess up one or two sections along the way.Knifeless tape is a game-changer so you don’t need to put a sharp knife against your chrome plastic.Watch some tutorials, prep your surface, take your time, apply in a warm, clean environment, and be kind/patient with yourself if you’re not intimately familiar with vinyl wrapping.

So easy to use and will save you $$$$ if you take your time and do it right. I’m a novice at best, and quotes to delete the chrome were near a thousand dollars. I decided to use the 3M chrome delete (don’t use anything else!) it’s very easy to work with and it turned out better than I imagined. I did invest in a heat gun (about $20) and used it minimally for the installation. I couldn’t be happier about the outcome!

Be aware, this is advertised as 3M but the vinyl roll sent to me is most certainly not a 3M product nor does it have any 3M branding. I will update this review if the replacement is in fact 3M, but I would avoid this listing entirely since there is a high probability you will receive a fake product at a premium price.Update: Received second item, still a fake with no 3M branding anywhere. I would avoid this listing, other reviewers mention clear 3M branding so apparently it’s a dice roll but I’ve lost twice in a row so I’m out.Second update: I did receive a genuine product, it just doesn’t look like the genuine product others have posted pictures of. I opened the second package up and unrolled the tape to find 3M labelling on the underside of the tape. It’s a bit confusing that some of the rolls have labelling on the cardboard and others don’t, but I’m glad this ended up being legit and it’s a good vinyl. Minor complaint is a slight orange peel texture.

I’ve never done this and it may not look nothing pro, but I do know window tinting (which kinda was a negative for me cause the way you heat for different reasons) and this product seriously is strong and you can flex it. I actually cut my pieces in half long ways. So one side of like 4′ became 8′, except I kept it 2″ wide for the back curve, used heat, and it made the turn pretty easy. I will say this though, 2080 has that film on top… after first pass with finger, I rip it off before I started tucking or cutting, it made it so hard to use razor blade cause film is so thin it’ll stick to blade and start to rise and peel while the tape, which is all that matters, starts lagging behind and you get jump marks. But use it to set it straight, ripe it off and it’s butter with the blade…
