how easy is it to remove the chrome strip on the door handle and do you need 3m double tape to reinstall? |
You don't need to remove the chrome. Apply the vinyl, work it until it is smooth over the chrome, then use an exacto knife to carefully trace the outside of the chrome. Take it slowly and be careful going around the ends of the chrome. Once it is cut, peal the excess off. Last step is to use something like a letter opener (something rigid and flat) to put some pressure on the cut edge of the vinyl to make sure it adheres to the chrome.
Once you do the first one (took me 3 tries) the other handles take less than 5 minutes each.
