Chevrolet C and K Trucks Chrome Tailgate Handle

Easy Peel-and-Stick installation.

Transform your standard dull factory look with attention-grabbing chrome from your grill to your tail lights. Make your car, truck or SUV stand out in a crowd, or add just a touch of “bling” to turn a few heads for a fraction of the cost of chromed metal replacements.
Our high grade triple-chrome-plated ABS Chrome trim accessories are custom-engineered for a perfect fit, to dramatically enhance your plain, pitted original plastic or painted accessories.
Installation is as simple as Clean, Peel, Position and Press. No measuring, cutting or drilling needed.
Our chrome trim accessories have a lifetime warrantee against defects and use high quality 3M automotive tape, so they will never fall off, and weather the elements better than ‘real chrome.’ They will not corrode, pit, or rust.

Simple Installation: Clean the surface with alcohol, Peel the film off the pre-applied tape, Position, and press on.


Chrome Trim Accessory Installation Detail:

Our Chrome Trim Items utilize 3M Automotive Attachment Tape, and are best installed at temperatures warmer than 65 degrees.

This process is not difficult, but it does require your full attention.

We recommend dry-fitting ALL of your chrome trim accessory pieces to ALL of their specific locations BEFORE peeling ANY of the wax papers off the tape. Make sure all the pieces are correct, i.e., you have received both right and left sides, with and without keyholes or keypads, etc, and that all are undamaged. Chrome pieces should fit perfectly. This is also good practice lining up each piece and guiding it into place. Repeat this practice positioning with each piece a couple of times, visualizing how you will finally do it when the waxed strips are removed and the tape is STICKY.

Prepare the vehicle bonding surface by cleaning it thoroughly with alcohol and a clean white cotton rag. This removes wax residues so the 3M Peel-and-stick adhesive can bond to it securely. Avoid using colored cloth for this purpose, as the dyes in the fabric may leave colored residue behind. We have found that the tape adheres better to painted surfaces than plastic ones. This is due to the inherent smoothness of the paint, where the plastic usually has a fine textured surface that tends to hold onto wax residues. If you have the black plastic version of door handles, mirror covers, etc. on your vehicle, be sure to put some extra effort into cleaning the plastic.

Peel off the wax papers, position, and carefully press into place.
After your chrome trim accessory items have been fitted and pressed to the vehicle surface, rub each piece firmly with a soft cloth to help ensure that it is seated securely. You may want to come back a few hours later, or the next day, to give each piece of chrome trim another pressure rub to ensure the best adhesion.

Allow the molding adhesive to set up for at least 24 hours before washing your vehicle. Maximum adhesion is reached after 3-5 days in temperatures above 70 degrees, longer if it is cooler. Once the adhesive has fully bonded to a properly prepared surface, it is nearly impossible to remove the item without damaging it. As an example, customers have reported backing out of their garage and catching only the edge of a chrome mirror cover on the door opening, and breaking off the end of the chrome mirror cover without dislodging the rest of it.

3M Automotive Attachment Tape is a .045-inch thick, medium-density white acrylic foam tape with high performance acrylic adhesives on both sides and a red release liner. 3M Automotive Attachment Tape uses automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) approved acrylic foam core and adhesive technology. It is characterized by high peel and shear adhesion, high internal strength, high conformability and excellent plasticizer resistance. Typical applications would include body side moldings, rocker panel trim, claddings, bumper trim and other automotive trim components. Because it requires no drilling into automotive painted surfaces, 3M Automotive Attachment Tape eliminates the concern for rust development associated with the use of mechanical fasteners. The unique stress relaxation properties of the tape's foam core allow it to expand and contract with temperature changes. Stress forces of an application are dissipated throughout the foam core, providing excellent long-term performance. The viscoelastic properties incorporated into these tapes allow it to conform to surface irregularities and gaps, providing a better fit by compensating for some part-to-vehicle mismatch. The use of 3M acrylic foam tapes eliminates the unsightly appearance of bolt, screw or rivet heads associated with mechanical fasteners. Surfaces remain clean and smooth, contributing to styling and aerodynamic design. The use of acrylic foam tape can eliminate steps in the installation process, often requiring fewer parts and less labor time.
