^ that looks very nice. Does the vinyl come as a sheet or more like a roll of tape?

I used sheets of vinyl, cut from a 24" wide roll. You have more control that way if you know what youre doing.

Did you just lay it on, or actually take the pieces off and apply?

If you use a hairdryer it really helps in the spots that require some shaping.

If I wanted to paint the trim, how do I remove it? I have some blackout tape and I'm not so sure it would look that good with my limited skills.

I bough the 6x12 24 sheets thing just for my door handles, it gives me 72 door handle cuts all for 9 bucks.

They also have rolls, same stuff they sell on ebay just a bit cheaper eh

How does the vinyl stick then? Is there glue on it or do you just do it with water?
