Why Dechrome Your Car?
Bright chrome trim was the standard finish for years, but it can date a car and clash with darker paintwork, tinted windows or blacked-out alloys.
Dechroming covers the original chrome with a precision-cut vinyl film usually matte or gloss black giving a cleaner, more aggressive look without any permanent changes underneath.
- Covers window surrounds, grilles, badges and handles
- Fully reversible original chrome stays undamaged underneath
- Matte, gloss or custom colour finishes available
