40 mm adhesive chrome trim: the chrome finish that also protects
This 40 mm wide adhesive chrome trim sticks to the sides, doors, window surrounds, or bumpers, adding the chrome detailing that most entry-level finishes lack in just a few minutes. It also acts as scratch protection on the edges most exposed to neighboring car doors and parking carts. Available in 3 metres or 5 metres.
Why choose this universal chrome trim
- 40 mm wide: wide enough to be seen from afar, slim enough to follow a body line without weighing down the design.
- Flexible chrome PVC: the trim follows curves, including wheel arches or contoured lower body panels, where rigid trim refuses to follow.
- Full-length adhesive backing: no screws, no drilling, no clips to sacrifice.
- UV resistance: the chrome does not yellow or fade after a summer in the sun.
- Cut to the desired length: a simple utility knife or pair of scissors is enough, allowing for millimetre-accurate adjustment on each piece.
- Universal use: cars, vans, SUVs, campers, and even furniture edges or wall mouldings.
Where to apply chrome trim on a car
The best locations are those that follow a natural body line. Along the bottom of the doors, the trim highlights the body line and absorbs door impacts. Around the window surrounds, it replaces a faded seal and rejuvenates the entire profile. Around the rear bumper and the trunk sill, it protects the paint from luggage rubbing. On a hatchback or grille, it serves as a finishing touch. Allow about 3 metres to equip the two lower door panels of a city car, and 5 metres for a complete treatment of the four doors of a sedan or SUV.

Installation and maintenance
Allow 20 to 40 minutes. Success depends entirely on preparation: the surface must be clean, dry, and perfectly degreased. In cool weather, gently heat the bodywork with a hairdryer, between 21 and 38 °C, to activate the glue without overheating it. Apply the trim without stretching it, press firmly along the entire length, then remove the protective film covering the chrome. One last rule, the most forgotten: do not wash the vehicle for 2 to 3 days, allowing the adhesive to achieve its final bond. Maintenance: normal washing, without solvents or abrasive products.
Frequently asked questions
Does the chrome trim hold up under high-pressure washing?
Yes, once the glue has set, provided the lance is not directed at close range under the edge of the trim.
Can it be removed without damaging the paint?
Yes: gently heat it, peel it back slowly, then remove the adhesive residue with a mild adhesive remover. On original paint in good condition, no traces remain.
How much length is needed for an entire car?
About 3 metres for the two lower door panels of a city car, 5 metres for the four doors of a sedan or SUV.
Does it adapt to curves?
Yes, the flexible PVC follows the curves. For very tight radii, heat the trim before applying it so that it retains its shape.
Is the chrome paint or a film?
It is a chrome finish integrated into the PVC profile, protected on the surface. It does not peel like paint applied afterwards.
A few metres, a hairdryer, and half an hour: give your car the chrome detailing it is missing.
