72" Aluminum Trim

$65.00 PER STRIP

We call this our "Bullnose Trim"

 


AS OF FEBRUARY OF 2021, UPS NOW CHARGES AN ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE FOR SHIPPING OUR ALUMINUM TRIM. BECAUSE OF THIS, OUR ORDERING PROCESS FOR ALUMINUM TRIM HAS CHANGED. WHEN PURCHASING TRIM, SELECT THE "ADD TO CART" BUTTON WITH THE NUMBER OF STRIPS OF TRIM THAT YOU WANT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WANT 3 STRIPS OF ALUMINUM TRIM, CLICK THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "ADD TO CART 3 STRIPS OF ALUMINUM TRIM." DO NOT CHANGE THE QUANTITY IN THE SHOPPING CART! IF YOU CHANGE THE QUANTITY IN THE SHOPPING CART, YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET OVERCHARGED FOR THE NEW UPS SURCHARGE.


 
 
 

 


We now have drilling fixtures for our trim!

Our trim is easy to bend, cut, shape, and polish. When it comes to drilling the blind holes, on the backside of the trim, for mounting it onto your custom panels, this drilling fixture makes that task easy as well.

We also offer screws that can be used to fasten our trim to your panel. These screws are blunt tipped. They do not have a pointed tip like a standard sheet metal screw. This allows more threads on the screw to "bite" into the aluminum and reduces the risk of dimpling the trim from a pointed screw.

To use these screws, you need to drill blind holes into the backside of the trim using a 3/32" drill bit. These screws will "bite" into the aluminum, and the trim does not need to be tapped. You only need 1/8" to 1/4" of the screw protruding inside the trim, so measure the thickness of your panel, and use the chart below to find the screw size needed. Do not overtighten the screws, they just need to be snug. We sell them in packs of twenty screws. If you want us to drill the trim, please email us. Buying the screws does not include the cost of Krist Kustoms drilling the trim.

Note: These blunt tipped screws aren't a common fastener, so sometimes they are hard for us to locate a supplier that has them in stock. Because of this, you may receive stainless steel screws, zinc screws, or black oxide screws.

Please note, for international orders (Australia, Europe, etc), we have to cut this trim down to slightly under 1 meter in length.

You cut, bend, shape, and polish it to your desired shape!

It is very easy to bend, shape the ends, and polish.

You will receive a piece of 72" raw trim (unpolished), with holes drilled every 4" on the backside of the trim. All cut and/or bent, drilled, polished trim is a non-refundable custom item.

We use an aluminum alloy that is easy to bend. Get creative with this stuff! Our aluminum trim sands very easily with 80 grit sand paper.
 
Here are a few tips we found using our trim. After the trim is drilled, do not sand off the "raised ring" left on the aluminum after it has been drilled. When you are ready to position the trim on your panel, firmly press the trim where you want it on the panel. The raised ring left from drilling will leave an impression in your panel where you will need to drill for the screw!

 

When you are ready to mount the trim to your panel, take a small drill bit or pin, put it in the drilled mounting hole until it bottoms out. Make a small mark on it where it just protrudes from the aluminum trim. This will show you how deep the hole is.

Moving to the second picture, put the screw through the hole on your panel where the trim will be mounted. Put the drill bit or pin that you previously marked next to the screw. This will show you the depth the screw will protrude into the trim. You never want the screw to be taller than the line you marked! If it is, sand or grind the screw down until it is shorter that line you marked. You now know the screw will not bottom out and damage the trim.

We drill our trim with a 3/32" bit, and use #4 sheet metal screws to fasten the aluminum trim to our panels. When attaching the trim, only fasten them snugly by hand! Do not use a drill or electric screwdriver to fasten the trim, and do not overtighten them! Our trim is made from 3003 aluminum, which is softer, so it can easily be bent and shaped. Because of this, the holes can be stripped out if you overtighten the mounting screws.
