![]() Note: when removing backing paper, be extremely gentle as this is usually where mistakes happen which will lead to permanent crease marks in the chrome. Remove mounting magnet on desired end you choose to start with, lift the film gently and peel some of the backing paper off. Unlike other finishes, chrome is not forgiving, handling defects (creases, fingers etc…) will not heal with heat, they are permanent. Do not attempt to install the chrome with this liner on. Remove the clear protective shipping liner, this is a clear non-conformable film which is put over the chrome to protect it during transportation and handling. Make sure you have full coverage of the panel before proceeding to remove the backing paper. Once the panel is ready to be wrapped, place the film against the panel (colour side facing out) and use your magnets to hold and reposition the film until you've got it in place. ![]() Also, the adhesive is heat activated and this will add complications when repositioning chrome. If the temperature is higher than 80 degrees there is an increased chance of over-stretching and damaging the film. ![]() The temperature of the surface area should not exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheight. This will allow you to pull on the film and reposition it without putting your fingers/hands under the parts which are going to be laid down on the panel. If tack reducer is applied to a surface by mistake, use isopropyl alcohol to wipe away.Ĭut out a piece of film which is roughly 4-6 inches larger than the panel on all ends. It will leave enough tack to install the film properly. The haze is what creates the barrier between the film and the paint. The Tack Reducer will dry to a haze and that is what you want. Wipe the tack reducer on the entire panel but not in recessed areas and leaving 2 inches from all edges. Apply tack reducer to a clear microfiber cloth. Chrome is sensitive, the tack reducer gives us the time to reposition and handle the film for a perfect mirror finish. Vvivid Tack Reducer works extremely well in allowing the repositioning of film on large panels with little to no blemishes. I’ve used it on every chrome wrap i’ve done. ( between panels, seams and behind rubber seals etc…)Ī product I can’t live without for chrome is the VViViD Tack Reducer. Once surface has been generally cleaned, use a clean microfiber cloth and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol to target clean specific areas. You may need to clay certain areas of the vehicle s chrome shows everything! I like to use VViViD Grime contaminant wash or Chemical Guys “Clean slate” for the a clean surface. ![]() Before using alcohol, make sure the surface is free from wax, grime, dirt particles and surface contaminants. Prepare the surface area and all edges which are to be wrapped. ![]()
