jbeez Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Do you guys know which product line is suitable for exterior of a car? I wanted to carbon fiber fill in the GMC logo on the front of my wife's sierra, and I want to wrap the chrome trim around the windows on my taurus SHO. I wanted to use the 3m products but not sure which is most appropriate, if anyone knew I'd appreciate it
WalledSonic Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I used some generic tinted vinyl wrap (non-3M, ebay special) on my Chevy logos and they have lasted about 2 years, still going. I also used the same stuff on all my chrome and it lasted about 1 year. I used goo-gone and removed the old stuff in less than 10 minutes. This is in Houston with really brutal sun exposure. If you dont mind spending 20 minutes cleaning and re-wrapping every few years, you can use almost any brand. I would suspect 3M is even better than what I used. Tuned in for other responses. EDIT: Here's the rear bar and logo when I first laid it on: IMG_0295 by Walled Sonic, on Flickr Here you can see the rear bar tint peeling (i havent removed it yet) IMG_3938 by Walled Sonic, on Flickr Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic
jbeez Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Posted January 18, 2018 I think it might be this: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/graphics-signage-us/1080-wrap-film-series/ the 1080 series. They have a nice pdf with all the colors https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/997575O/1080-poster-for-print.pdf
WalledSonic Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 And if it starts degrading, use this to remove the adhesive: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Adhesive-Remover/?N=5002385+3293194120&rt=rud Post some pics when you get it done.

Darkimag22 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Posted April 26, 2019 3M's 1080 line is what you want. Done correctly you can expect the film to last 5+ years. Another great film to try is Vvivid. I've used both of the films to wrap the roof, tailgate, hood and grille of my 2018 F150 and have to say, I was more than impressed with the Vvivid line.
