Hi guys as the title say I want to convert my chrome trim into black and I actully did it by painting them when I painted my mirrors before 1 week, BUT today I noticed there is some chrome spots on my window trim which means that the paint didn't make the job
my question is where to buy good shadowline to hide all that bad paint and the bad look of my trims cause I have been searching and I found several of sites selling them,one of them for 500$ which is very expensive and other site selling for 27$ per each roll what's the best and the cheapest.

I hope no one says -if you don't care about money because I care I spent this month 1600$ on my car .
thanks guys

 

I painted mine too - 3 times, before I said "screw it" and stripped all the paint off and applied gloss black vinyl to it. Do that and you should be fine. From what I've seen the site bmwshadowline.com has the best price for the vinyl, $20.95 for a 2" X 30' roll is perfect to do all the trim Good luck and, as always, pics or it didn't happen

 

http://bmwshadowline.com/trimvinyl.html this one right?
are you sure 2"x 30 is enough ?

 

you can get 2 rolls if it makes you feel more comfortable, but yeah 30' should be enough. Just remember each piece of trim needs a full sheet of vinyl, no splices - it will shrink after it's been on for a while. Also, there will probably be some bubbles, poke the big ones with a needle to deflate and the tiny ones don't worry about. As the vinyl shrinks they go away anyway (unless you got dirt trapped under it)

 

no I want what is enough I dont want to waste more money Im poor man this month , I have to save little bit after the mirrors is it safe to buy with credit card coz there is large amount of money in it or I just wait till tomorow and buy paypal from computer accessories shop

I guess bubbles are better than labyrinthine

dude you made my night better I guess I'll stop thinking about the trim disease

 

there is no 2x30 choice only I can choose 2roll 3x30
sorry I ask to much no more questions
and the 20.95$ is for 1roll 3x30

 

HAHAHA no problem, they used to have a 2"X30' roll before, wonder what happened to it? Anyway, yes the 3"X30' would work too, just give you a little more excess to trim off after it's on. I'd also suggest taking the trim off the car to do it, much easier and more comfortable - I did it while watching F1 racing in my livingroom

 

okay so 1 roll is enough
thanks dude you are so kind and friendly sorry again for the 32454 questions

 

No worries, it's what we're here for. Good luck with your project

 

Yes, 1 roll is enough, but don't go crazy and use 1.5 times the actual length you need to cover a part. In other words, be conservative and not too liberal with it. +1 on taking the piece off first before when covering it. It makes it easier.
Also, handy tools to have: blow dryer, so you can heat the vinyl up to go around curves. Very share X-acto knive to trim it.

BTW, $500 for the OEM shadowline is too much. I got mine for about $250 shipped from onlinebmwparts.com. OEM is the best.
