Would this work for the B pillars

I've been to literally every hardware store and can't find black adhesive vinyl anywhere to cover the B pillars. So i turn to ebay. Anyways I was wondering if this would work: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINYL-COLORED-TA...3%3A1|294%3A50

when i searched black vinyl tape i came across this stuff...dare i say....... fake carbon fiber http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Diago...Q5fAccessories

I think it would be a hit or a complete miss with the CF. I don't wanna spray paint em cuz this would just be much easier so keep the comments of how easy it is to take em off and paint em to yourself.

Just apply some armor all to the vinyl after each car wash and the vinyl you choose should last for awhile. Some of the e46 guys use this site to get vinyl to wrap up there side moldings http://www.beacongraphics.com/supplies/3m/3m-7125.html. They been getting good reviews so yeah just a alternative to your purchase. Another alternative is you can go to a sign maker shop and ask for some vinyl to apply to your pillar.

This is what you want to look for, but check with the seller to make sure it is self adhesive. As other mentioned some of these have higher quality than others.
