Dongfeng VL truck parts Right emblem decorative strip assembly 5000520-C4300

The decorative strip’s base is crafted from high-impact ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) with 15% glass fiber reinforcement, delivering a flexural modulus of 2,700 MPa to resist bending or cracking from minor impacts (e.g., road debris). Its surface features a triple-layer chrome plating process: a copper undercoat (5μm) for adhesion, a nickel layer (3μm) for corrosion resistance, and a chrome topcoat (2μm) for a mirror-like finish. The chrome layer boasts a brightness rating of 90% (measured via gloss meter), matching the VL’s factory chrome accents. Unlike low-quality electroplated parts, it resists scratch damage (pencil hardness: H) and maintains shine even after 2,000 hours of UV exposure testing

Engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, the assembly includes a protective clear coat (12μm thick, polyurethane-based) that blocks 99% of UVA/UVB rays—preventing chrome fading or peeling in direct sunlight. The ABS base is infused with anti-aging additives, enabling it to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C (arctic winters) to 85°C (desert heat) without brittleness or warping. It also resists chemical damage from road salt, diesel fuel, and car wash detergents: testing confirms no blistering or discoloration after 480 hours of 5% salt spray exposure. This weather resistance ensures the decorative strip retains its appearance for over 3 years of heavy-duty use

The assembly features a molded-in Dongfeng brand emblem (115mm×28mm) positioned centrally on the strip, using a 3D raised design (0.4mm height) to create visual depth. The emblem’s color scheme—Dongfeng’s iconic red (Pantone 186 C) and silver (Pantone 877 C)—is applied via a high-temperature baking process (180°C curing) that bonds the pigment to the surface, preventing fading or chipping. Unlike stick-on emblems that risk detachment, the integrated design ensures the logo remains secure even under vibration (tested to 200Hz for 1,000 cycles). This not only reinforces brand recognition but also adds a premium, factory-fitted look to the VL’s exterior

The assembly supports two hassle-free installation methods to match the VL’s factory setup:

Bolt-Mount: Includes 4 stainless steel M4×9mm bolts (grade 304) and lock washers, fitting the truck’s pre-drilled mounting holes. Torque specification (8 N·m) aligns with OEM standards to avoid over-tightening damage.

Adhesive-Mount: Features pre-applied 3M VHB acrylic foam adhesive (1.5mm thick) on the strip’s back, offering a bond strength of 14 N/cm². No drilling is needed—simply clean the surface, peel the liner, and press firmly.

Installation takes 15–20 minutes, with no need for specialized tools. Each unit undergoes dimensional checks (via CMM), adhesion testing, and finish inspections, backed by a 12-month warranty against defects (e.g., chrome flaking, adhesive failure, emblem discoloration)
