That's a pretty steep price for that stuff. Post pics once you're done. Did you get the gloss stuff?

It's actually not a bad price. Honda wants $96 just for the top trim. Which is the piece that is peeling on my car.

https://www.1hondaparts.com/index.php?p=page&page_id=part_picker&make=Honda&model=ACCORD&year=2004&version=2DR%20EX%20%28V6%29&transmission=KA5AT&system=PARTS&component=MOLDING%20-%20SIDE%20SILL%20GARNISH

This stuff is 3 inches wide and 30 feet long. I cut a piece about 56 inches long and split it down the middle. The first time I applied it, there were creases forming and I couldn't get them out. So I ripped it off and tried again with the other piece. Same thing happened but only worse. I'm pretty sure this is because my technique sucks ass. You really need to take your time applying it and I'm not that patient.

I think I'm going to just paint it and clear it with some rattle cans. I bought some to do my emblems so I'm just going to do the trim as well. I think it'll be more durable than vinyl any how.

I can tell you that when I did have it on the trim, even though it was creased up, it looked just like OEM. It matched the remaining trim perfect.

I still have 25 feet left, 50 feet if you split it down the middle. Which is more than enough to do the all the trim on a car.
