It's expensive cause it's hard to find, original and not recreated by anyone..
The plastic looks great in my opionion and I use it when two toning a machine that origally didn't have the SS trim like a VMC Pepsi or 7up or a 81a machine.. see attached pic of a VMC Pepsi I recently did.

I have done it on several machines where the trim was missing. If you take your time, clean the surface of the machine well and lay the plastic out before applying it, the trim looks very nice. I lay a line of blue painters tape to guide me as I apply the trim.

I have a local source that charges $85 to restore the original V81 stainless trim and he makes it look brand new.
