Brushed Aluminum Trim
Hi Guys -

Is there any way to inexpensively wrap the stock wooden trim so it looks like brushed aluminum? I've seen the 3M stuff, from all the pics it looks great right after the install; but does it hold up? For the guys who've done it, are you happy with the outcome? It looks like quite a job.

Very happy with the outcome! Wasn't hard at all. Just takes patience. Holds up quite well!
