Here is a video describing how to vinyl wrap the chrome on a Tesla Model S. I am in NO WAY an expert in wrapping, this is simply a knowledge dump of what I learned from my 25 hours wrapping my car. Ask absolutely any questions you have! Many of the specific wrapping tips I include here come straight from CK Wraps. Follow and watch him for much better technique tutorials.
The trim pieces include:
- Front Emblem
- Front trim
- Bottom grill slits
- Side markers
- Under door trim
- Under window trim
- Above window trim
- Mirror support
- Rear emblem
- Rear trunk trim
I also wrapped the interior trim pieces:
- Left of steering wheel
- Right of steering wheel
- Passenger trim above glove box
- Slide door in center console
- Cup holder trim in the console
