Offline | I'm not sure if we have chrome stripes, but I'm sure we can digitaly print or use some vinyl to get you close to the color you are looking for. matt@cooperflags.com |

Offline | You might be able to use this self adhesive tape from 3M. Don't know where you can get it in the US though. Anybody? It is actually pretty shiny/ relective. Link to 3M Al foils Not sure about the durability of it. You might be OK in the summer, but I bet once winter hits, that salt will corrode the aluminium straight off the carrier. I bet chrome stripes would look good though. Post pics if you do it. What do our resident chromosexuals think?

Offline | I'll check on the 3M Foil and let you know how they stand-up to painted surfaces. I'll also check on durability -from what I've read these look like more of an industrial application. matt@cooperflags.com |

Offline | Here is the official word from our 3M Rep - "This tape is not rated or warranted for exterior Automotive paint adhesion." We will need to go another route. matt@cooperflags.com |
