Chrome Delete

Replace shiny chrome accents with sleek matt or gloss black film. This instantly gives your car a sportier, more modern look.

From shiny chrome to a sleek matt finish

Chrome delete involves covering the chrome trim and accents on your car with high-quality wrap film. The shiny chrome window surrounds, grilles, door handles, mirror caps and bumper accents are replaced with a sleek matt, satin or gloss finish of your choice. The result is a more modern, sportier and more cohesive look — without making any permanent modifications to the car. Chrome delete is often combined with car wrapping for a consistent, uniform look throughout.

Which parts are covered by Chrome Delete?

A ‘chrome delete’ involves covering all chrome exterior accents: window surrounds (B- and C-pillars), door handles, mirror caps, the grille, bumper trims, the boot edge and any brand badges. We can also carry out a partial chrome delete — for example, just the window surrounds or just the mirror caps — depending on your preferences and budget. Would you like to tackle the chrome accents inside as well? Then take a look at wrapping interior trim for a consistent finish both inside and out.

Popular finishes for chrome delete

The most popular finish is matt black (blackout), but we offer many more options: satin black, gloss black, dark grey, bronze, gunmetal and even colour-shift films for an exclusive look. The film blends seamlessly with the rest of the exterior and creates a factory-finish look that is indistinguishable from the original. For a completely dark appearance, many customers combine chrome delete with smoking lamps — the headlights and rear lights are also in keeping with the style.

Temporary or permanent: the choice is yours

As the film is applied over the original chrome, a chrome delete is fully reversible. Leaseholders, people who want to sell their car on, or those who simply want to change the look, can have the film removed at any time. The original chrome remains intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How much does a chrome delete cost?
The price depends on the number of parts to be treated and the type of vehicle. A partial chrome removal (e.g. window surrounds only) starts from around €200. A full chrome removal, including the grille, door handles, mirror caps and all trims, usually costs between €400 and €900. Request a no-obligation quote.
Does the film damage the original chrome?
No. The film is applied over the chrome and can be removed at any time without damaging the original surface.
What colours and finishes are available?
Matt black is the most popular option, but we also offer satin black, gloss black, gunmetal, bronze, dark grey, anthracite and colour-shift films. We’d be happy to advise you based on the colour of your car.
Can I have only certain parts treated?
Yes, a partial chrome removal is certainly possible. Popular individual treatments include the mirror caps, window surrounds or just the grille. We always provide bespoke solutions.
How long does a chrome delete take?
A full chrome removal from a car is usually completed within one working day. Partial treatments can sometimes be done in as little as half a day.
How long does the film last?
If high-quality film is used and the finish is well maintained, a chrome delete will last between 4 and 7 years. Parts that are more exposed to UV light and friction (e.g. door handles) may wear out slightly sooner.
Can I have my lease car serviced?
Yes. As the film is fully removable and leaves the original chrome intact, chrome delete is lease-friendly. Do always check the terms and conditions of your leasing company, though.
What is the difference between ‘chrome delete’ and ‘blackout’?
‘Chrome delete’ refers specifically to covering chrome trim. ‘Blackout’ is a broader term that can also include covering logos, emblems, lights and other shiny parts. In practice, the terms are used interchangeably.
Can I remove the film myself if I no longer like the look of it?
Professional removal gives the best results and prevents any residual adhesive or damage. WrapBaas can also remove the film for you — quickly and without leaving a trace.
In which region do you operate?
WrapBaas operates throughout the Netherlands. Please get in touch to check availability in your area and receive a quote within 24 hours.
