Dechrome & Chrome Delete - Swindon
Most performance and prestige vehicles leave the factory with chrome trim that doesn't suit what the car actually is. A dechrome replaces every piece of external chrome with a gloss, satin or matte black finish - badges, window trims, grille surrounds, door handles - wrapped individually by hand for a result that looks intentional rather than factory-standard.
What's Included in a Dechrome
Every dechrome we carry out covers the pieces that matter.
Depending on your vehicle and the look you're going for, we can dechrome individual elements or the full car.
Common dechrome elements:
Badges
Window trims and glass surrounds
Grille surround and inserts
Door handles
Mirror caps
Roof rails
Side mouldings
Bumper accents
We'll identify every piece of chrome trim on your vehicle during consultation and confirm exactly what's included in your quote.
Finish Options
Gloss Black - High shine finish. Clean, sharp and the most dramatic transformation from chrome.
Satin Black - Between gloss and matte - a refined, premium look that suits most performance vehicles.
Matte Black - Flat, aggressive finish. Pairs well with darker base colours and more aggressive builds.
Other finishes available on request. If you're looking for something specific - body-colour match, dark tints, or another finish — ask us during consultation.
The Process
Unlike a full wrap, a dechrome is about precision on small, detailed pieces. Each trim element is either wrapped in place or removed, wrapped individually and refitted - depending on the piece and the finish required. The tuck and edge finishing on each piece is what determines whether the result looks professional or not. We don't move on from a piece until the edges are sitting exactly where they should be.
