Blacking Out Trim

Cadet7263 · May 16, 2022

Question, has anyone blacked out the chrome trim that runs underneath the windows all the way around on the stealth edition? I have a Max that’s been built waiting on shipment. I’m wondering if the 25’ roll off of Amazon will work, or if I need the 50’ roll.

I'm looking into it currently for my Limited Stealth and measured approx 30 feet of chrome on 3 sides. Max would need the 50 foot roll for sure. I've read its best to use the 3M #2080 tape as it has a protective film over the tape to protect it while working and that you remove when done. My biggest concern is working around the mirrors. I'm not wanting to take the doors apart to remove those and not sure I trust an installer to do it either.

I ordered 50' of 3M 2080 - going to black out that trim on my Timberline

Let us know how it goes. Thinking of doing that to our SPP we are picking up wednesday.

Really interested in how you handle the section under the mirrors - post some pics please!

I ordered 3m fiery orange to do the trim on my timberline, if it looks silly then I’ll do black.

On my white Stealth, you don't even notice the chrome, IMO. I feel it is much more noticeable on the darker painted models.

This is how it will look.

The mirrors were easy - you can slide the wrap tape under the protruding part of the mirror there is plenty of space.

After Pic using 3M 2080 gloss black
Definitely need the 50' roll. The most difficult part is the side back trim which curves around the back. 2080 film is very good and very flexible. I pre-cut the film and did not have to cut down the horizontal length of the trim. Just make sure you have an accurate width to use - I can measure the exact size if anyone would like.
