I acrually used this product to cover up sun glare spots on my interior crome. Works amazing, now i can see while driving. You can not really tell it is tape unless your staring at it. I thought about using this for my exterior chrome but it is not wide enough. In order to use this, it has to have very precise cutting. You can lift it up with ease and place it back down and it will still stick.

Finally used it. Weather was too hot in fla. Hard to work with and to not be lumpy. was a good width for my need.

Great product! Initially bought to black out my window trim then later bought some more, then some more. Ended up blacking out most of the car. Did my roof rack, window trim, and mouldings. Only complaint or reccomendation is I wish they made a gloss black version or wider tape. Applied a month ago and it’s been holding up to car washes etc.

Wow. So I was really skeptical, and it's only been on for 3 days... but initially I'm impressed.I have some window trim on a 2004 E320 that was badly discolored from sun damage. They skimped on the UV coating apparently as all Benzes in the same years have black trim that turns goldish, purplish, faded silvery, or light black. All 4 pieces age differently so it looks pretty bad. I tried spray coating and all the masking is a pain.The tape however, I precut a few but it's better to put in on directly full width. When I applied the tape, I did a few inches (maybe 6-10) to make sure my line was correct. I then let the tape flow down on its own, like if you had an angle in a metal tape measure... you can adjust the bend in the tape measure by where both hands are... that's how I put down the vinyl tape. It does adhere smoothly that way. I also lightly brushed it with my finger tips to make sure it laid flat. I went back after with a cloth, pressing it firmly down. I used my fingernails to outline the edges I wanted to trim off. I could press pretty deep, so I could see the outline of the window trim piece showing through. I then used a no 11 exacto for a perfect cut all the way around. Any bubbles, I popped with the exacto slightly and pressed the air out.After a day, all the areas I popped were completely flat and it looks like it's been painted with matte black. Really good looking. I was very hesitant to put any "tape" on my car or alter the stock appearance, but this really looks good. We'll see how it handles a midwest winter though. Even then, applying once a year would be ok with me.Edit: 3 Minnesota winters later, it still looks great!

Even around the window trim it was easy to stretch and cut the tape to fit perfectly without a heat gun or any special tools. Has held up to car washes and power washing and the car is parked outside daily. Really good stuff worth the buy! You will need 2 rolls for a full size car!

I used this tape to black-out portions of my ABS plastic grill. It worked well. I didn't stretch it when I applied it and made sure all the air bubbles were pressed out (a safety pin works well for releasing trapped air). It's been on for about three months now and through several washes -- I didn't treat it gently with the wash brush -- and still looks good, no edges lifting or peeling. If I need to do other areas of the car, this is the stuff I'll use.

I have used this tape for several years. As a working photographer, there are times that I want to black out the chrome or silver trim, logos, etc. on my equipment. In the old days, street photographers would just slap on electrical tape or black gaffing tape, etc. Usually left a sticky residue and a mess. This tape is GREAT. Goes on easily, STAYS on, and comes off easily if you decide to remove it. No residue left behind. The manufacturer ought to pitch this product to the photography market. I actually have used it on a car too. Years ago, used it to black out some bumper trim on an older Saab. Can't recall how well it worked on a car, but works great on photographic gear.

While the item does the job on flat surfaces, you do not want to force this on trim that has any kind of corner since it simply won't conform. I spent a decent hour dedicated to applying this on right, but it wouldn't budge. It looked nice until it had to conform to the corner in the trim.I ended up ripping it off and just painting my trim black. I'll keep the roll for any friends that might want it. I guess it is worth keeping in the garage just in case.At least it was only a few bucks.
