Chrome Delete: What It Is and Why You'd Want It

Chrome grilles and trim were fashionable in the 2000s. Today most people prefer a matte or black look without the shine.

What chrome delete is

Chrome grilles, handles and trim were trendy in the 2000s. Today most drivers prefer a matte or black look without chrome. Chrome delete is the process of covering or replacing a car's chrome elements with vinyl film or paint.

What can be de-chromed

  • Front grille
  • Door handles
  • Door and window trim
  • Badges and emblems
  • Mirrors
  • Chrome body inserts

Film or paint

Film is reversible — it can be removed to restore the car's original look. Paint lasts longer but requires disassembling the parts. We choose the method based on the car and the budget.

Popular options among BRANDBOX clients

  • Black matte chrome delete on the grille and handles
  • Carbon-style trim
  • Chrome delete combined with window tinting
