idk if it will hold up to the weather. we just got done working on a car trailer, it had trim held on by 3m tape. needless to say the trim didnt come off real easy had to use a razor blade and a real knife to cut it off, and the guy is going to have to buy new stuff

It works pretty good. I used it to put the "CHEVROLET" back on my tailgate trim. That was 2/12 years ago or so. Through all the washes, rain, wind, sun and even a vandalism, it's still there. No peeling or separation. I used regular 3M outdoor double sided adhesive tape. Wasn't even there automotive stuff.

     Just make sure the surfaces are prepped properly and that stuff sticks pretty good.
