CONVEX® Chrome

Mirror-shiny silver media for printing decals; gleams for 7 years!

Mirror, mirror on the wall, CONVEX Chrome shines bright and lasts long—up to 7 years outdoors! Unlike other chrome films, CONVEX Chrome won’t succumb quickly to the elements and oxidize fast, making it ideal for creating chrome-metalized graphics for watersports vehicles, windows, signs, and other surfaces exposed to UV light and moisture. A brilliant choice for indoor applications, too. Not recommended for football helmets, but CONVEX GearWrap™ is!

- Fits smoothly to flat, cylindrical, and moderately curved surfaces.
- Protective top mask creates a pristine finish.
- Resists wrinkling.
- Resists shrinking: won’t ooze adhesive or collect dirt around decal edges.
- Won’t oxidize like other chrome films.
- Aggressive High-Bond adhesive ensures a firm hold on plastic, powdered-paint (enamel), and other low-energy surfaces.
- Works with Gerber Edge FX, Gerber Edge II, and Gerber Edge I thermal printers; and some inkjet printers.
- Designed for smooth cutting with any roll-fed or flatbed plotter.

LAMINATE RECOMMENDATIONS:

For extra thickness and durability, we recommend our CONVEX Supreme™ UV Laminate. Providing maximum protection for 5 to 7 years, this high-gloss vinyl laminate adds 4 mils of thickness to your media, making it easier for the novice to apply.

For application on powersport vehicles with curved surfaces, we recommend CONVEX Laminate or Pro-Shield™ Laminate for durable protection against impact and abrasion.

When applying to flat surfaces exposed to the elements, we recommend Wet-Look™ Hard Shell UV Laminate. Our 10-year, polyester Wet-Look UV enhances the high gloss of CONVEX Chrome and is scratch-resistant.
