Have chrome-plated parts wrapped in black? Chrome-Delete!

Have chrome-plated parts wrapped in black? Chrome-Delete using the Chrome-Delete-Kit is often called the package with which chrome-plated parts can be wrapped in black or carbon, etc. But why? There are vehicle owners who like chrome parts as they are, and that's fine too. But it's just as okay if stylish black window frames, door handles, radiator grills, etc. are more appealing on the vehicle than chrome-plated parts that sparkle and sparkle. With some manufacturers (Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc.) it is possible to have the parts directly in a glossy or matt black - for example under the term Shadow Line (BMW) - to be ordered, but this is often associated with high costs. There are also some components that can be configured in black not can be ordered. This means that these components must remain chrome-plated or silver.

Foiling can help with this problem!

Some providers also refer to the option of darkening the factory components as Night package. The result is almost always just black foil on chrome-plated parts. The result and the most important properties are:

  • a sportier look
  • the vehicle usually gives a higher quality impression
  • Chrome-plated parts do not need to be sanded
  • cheaper and quicker to reverse than painting

For example, if you want to sell the car again and a potential buyer wants the original look again, then the film can simply be removed again without leaving any residue. In the case of painting, this is not so easy, since the chrome-plated parts have been sanded and ground for this continuous are changed.

Does the film also adhere to plastic?

No, as components made of plastic release plasticizers, which impair the adhesion of the film. In addition, the structure of many such components is disadvantageous and significantly reduces the adhesion of the film.
