      Thanks! It's a great, cheap and easy mod. Makes your black car look soooooo much better. Especially when it's gloss black instead of the matte plastidip black.

      Thanks man! It's pretty easy. Cost me $12 and about an hour and a half to do both side window trim and my rear trunk trim. The vinyl I bought was super forgiving. It doesn't trap air bubbles.

    your car looks really sick man, i really like the blacked out theme of it. Have you thought of wrapping the whole car yet?

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I already did. I liquid wrapped (dipped) my car carbon blue pearls by myself in my moms back yard. I just recently peeled it off to get back to black. I'm picking out a new color in a few weeks and will do a video on how to dip your Benz. Check out my Instagram and you'll see. @flexx_alexander I don't want to vinyl wrap the car. Cost way too much when liquid wrapping is as good and it cost me $300 to change the color instead of $2,000-$3,000 for a wrap job.

      Thanks. It's actually quite easy. The 3M vinyl I got was very forgiving. It's the same one used to wrap roofs so there's little tiny holes that released air so you don't get air bubbles. I wrapped my wife's c300 roof with the same vinyl.

      I guess to give it a luxury look. But most of the benzers hate it so we wrap it or black it out. Lol

    Hey Flexx!! about to purchase my Vvivid Gloss Black Vinyl to wrap my 2013 w204 c250 sport sedans window trim, trunk trim, fog drl light trim, and side markers. how juch vinyl do you think would be needed for whole project. I was thinking 4x5 ft do i need more or less?!

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think that’s plenty. Just going to have to do the top side trim in 2 pieces. It’s hard to find vinyl that will cover the full length of the top side trim.

    How did you get the door window trim, did you remove the mirror ?

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope. If you look at the window trim near the mirror, it's not covered by anything. You can vinyl right over without removing side mirrors. It's a tight spot but doable. I had a video of me doing it but it was kinda the same thing as the back window trim. I didn't want to bore the viewers.

    Is the vinyl permanent? Can it be removed later? I'm asking because mine is a lease. Thanks.

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It’s a sticker. Of course you can remove it. Depending on the quality of the vinyl, some might leave more adhesive residue then others. Don’t use cheap Chinese or cheap brand vinyl. Use 3M or Vivvid vinyl.

      You don’t need heat if you lay down the vinyl flat without stretching it or pulling at it.

    • @TheFlexxGarage

      Vinyl wrap. No matter what your are wrapping. If you can wrap something cold (without heat) that’s the best cause there won’t be much pullback. But sometimes heat is definitely needed for curves and edges.

    Why not remove the trims ?

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I thought about doing that but it's a pain to do and you risk bending or denting the trim. My videos are all about trying to make things easier so almost anyone can do it. Removing the trim requires alot more skill then just putting the sticker on top of it.
