Chrome delete instantly updates your vehicle’s look by replacing shiny trim with sleek black or dark finishes.

2. Custom Look That Fits Your Build

If you’ve added tint, darker wheels, or vinyl wrap, chrome delete is the missing piece that ties it all together. Blacking out your trim and badges helps your vehicle match the vibe you’re going for, whether that’s stealthy, sporty, or just more refined. Your ride ends up looking like a complete build instead of a mix of factory and aftermarket pieces.

3. Flexible and Reversible Style Upgrade

Maybe the best part of chrome delete is that it’s usually done with high quality vinyl film, so you’re not stuck with it forever. If you want to tweak the finish, change colors, or go back to chrome down the road, you’ve got options. That flexibility lets you experiment with your style without committing to permanent changes.

Chrome Delete FAQs  

Questions? Learn More About Chrome Delete Service 

  • 1. What is a chrome delete, exactly?

    Chrome delete is the process of covering or replacing the shiny chrome trim on your vehicle with a darker finish, usually gloss black, satin, or matte. We focus on pieces like window trim, grilles, badges, and other brightwork, so everything ties together. The goal is a cleaner, more modern look that fits your style better than the factory chrome.

  • 2. Which parts of my vehicle can you black out?

    We can black out most exterior chrome accents, including window trim, door handles, grilles, badges, mirror caps, and some bumper or body trim. Every vehicle is a little different, so we’ll walk around it with you and point out what can be deleted and what makes the most sense. From there, we help you decide how aggressive or subtle you want to go.

  • 3. Is chrome delete permanent, or can it be changed later?

    Most chrome delete work is done with high quality vinyl film, which means it can be removed or changed down the road. If you decide you want a different finish or want to switch up your style, we can peel the film and redo it. It gives you the freedom to experiment with a stealthier look without being locked into it forever.

  • 4. How long does a chrome delete service usually take?

    Timing depends on how many pieces we are deleting and how complex the trim is on your specific vehicle. Some jobs can be finished in a day, while more detailed or full-vehicle chrome deletes may take longer. When you reach out for a quote, we’ll give you a realistic time frame, so you can plan drop-off and pickup without any surprises.

  • 5. How do I care for my vehicle after a chrome delete?

    Caring for a chrome delete is pretty simple. You can wash your vehicle like normal using a gentle car soap, soft wash mitts, and microfiber towels, and avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes on the vinyl. If you stick to good wash habits, your blacked-out trim will stay looking clean, sharp, and consistent for a long time.
