Our original grab handle stripe overlays came in standard vinyl colors. Now that we have printing capabilities, we are expanding our options. Some of these are near paint matches. Overall they help you get rid of some of the factory trim color.
These overlays DO NOT include the letters. Those are sold SEPERATELY.
Printing does have limitations. Many paints are multi coatings and have more depth to them. So we have to come close to what the colors look like in sunlight or in the shade but cannot always match both. You can see these inlays from outside the vehicle with the windows up.
Ships with 2 sets of overlays. You only need to use one, but we don't like our customers to be stranded without a backup.
Please watch our installation video to understand the level of difficulty to install these.
INSTALLATION
Install in a 75-85 degree ENVIRONMENT. For ease of installation, we do suggest that you prep the area with 3M promoter. Purchase it here.
Clean the application area and apply the vinyl using a dry installation. Make sure the area is clean and free of dust, debris, dirt, Armor All, etc.
Some will choose to clean the application area with rubbing alcohol which is okay.
"Rubbing alcohol will not damage car paint if it is diluted to between 10% and 15%. Since rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly, it doesn't damage car paint."
Keeping a hair dryer or heat gun (low heat) around is recommended to increase adhesion. Heat and pressure activates the adhesive.
Use of optional 3M primer pens can increase adhesion.
