How To Black Out Chrome Delete Window Trim - Vinyl Wrap Tutorial | CHROME DELETE

This was our first episode we've made on our "How To" series! In this video, we demonstrate on a 2019 Audi S5 how to vinyl wrap the window trim gloss black. We get a lot of customers in to the shop asking for our chrome delete service, and thought it would be a great idea to take you guys through the process and show you step by step along with the tools you might need.

Some day car manufacturers will realize that chrome was cool last time at 50's

[@Oaky]

nah but audi cant change an additional $4K for a black optics package then

[@onine69]

I would suggest to roll window down so the top window seal gonna give you more space to push the vinyl under the rubber 😉🙌🏼

[@bsm1th99]

I got quoted $700 to black out my chrome on my car and after watching this video, I can save myself a ton of money by doing this myself

[@Hotshotscott]

How’d it go?

[@richardlee6698]

I would suggest using knifeless tape for beginners. 90 percent of us ain't actual surgeons.

[@richardlee6698]

To add to my suggestion, knifeless tape saves time and effort needed for cutting the vinyl wrap. The tape cost $ but actually worth it in the end.

[@ideaoverload910]

@@richardlee6698 I noticed someone use that thin little tape, I guess it was knifeless tape that went underneath the wrap. But he only used on top part of chrome trim piece. Wondering if you can put 2 pieces of knifeless tape on top and bottom of the same chrome trim piece. I’ll keep searching, because that looks so much easier. Worst case, it does look perfect. If it last a couple years, well worth not seeing that ugly chrome trim! Lol

[@nateg.4488]

You mean 100% of us in this chat aren’t

[@LynxStarAuto]

I respect your blade skills. Much more precise than mine. For that reason, whenever possible I remove all of those trims and wrap them off the vehicle. I'm more comfortable doing it that way.

[@MrInternationalSound]

How do you pop the trim off?

[@Alycanj]

Essentially I love supporting up and coming channels and as you can see you got a new sub. ty

[@tcaver]

Love this! I’m getting my q5 sport back in white and I was not paying for the black optic package so wrapping I shall go. I’d love to see blacking out the fender. And other parts of the Audi.

[@jonnowocky8179]

Nice informative and patient explanation, thanks lads 👍🏻

[@WeedMetin2]

Cheers really helpful. Done my e92 looks great

[@BrayoTintsAndWraps]

great content! this was in my recommendation so I decided to take a look, also if you just took a pen and stabbed a hole in the film, you can make the relief cut there or just waste cut; both the curve cut and the poke cut work well. "kiss of heat." I see JP inspired you!

[@a-teamIL]

Haha..."essentially"...was thinking the same thing...love the humor between friends/coworkers. Great job w/this tutorial gents! Keep up the great work...learned a lot!!

[@brianbozarth3369]

I watched this video. My car has no aftermarket kit for blackout trim. I watched this with the lil things I learned and it came out fantastic! Thank you for making this video.

[@jstar5285]

Doing it yourself is fine if you have a lot of patience, time, sweat and have a decent dry, non raining place to do it, in addition if your great at installing window tint then there you go, now in those cases your not good at it, its fine and you shouldn't be embarrassed in finding a shop with some talent like this guy, its worth paying for

[@Paint_G0d]

Came out dope bro 💪🏾‼️

[@marcstreiff6067]

Thanks, I'm redoing my chrome delete on my C5 05 allroad.. But using high gloss 5D carbon fiber wrap.

[@youcanthide004]

This video is perfect, you guys are great. You make it look so easy even though I know it’s not going to be lol. “ As you can see essentially.”

[@MiguelGonzalez-op5hv]

“You forgot to say essentially” 😂😂😂 Great video!

[@red2g]

That could not have been cheap goddamn, absolute banger thanks for the info. Ready to knock out a chrome delete now! Solid work

[@kevinkoppes1068]

Great vid!

[@mattp9436]

Not gonna lie. being someone who has this exact car and needed to get rid of the chrome, was pretty excited when i saw this video... that being said it would be pretty great if you had shown literally the hardest part of this which is the underside of the top chrome trim... actually maybe thats why you didnt show it... besides that great video for the rest!

[@carlosmendez3638]

Great video!!!!

[@PixiSalt]

Waiting for my vinyl to be delivered so I can do this myself! 🤞🏻

[@SrZomBros]

Amazing job! Can you send the link of the vinyl?

[@Moneymike82]

Essentially 🙌🏽

[@Moneymike82]

So Am I going to be able to handle this diy project

[@yeeboyhowdy2611]

[@scubanplz]

Awesome! Thanks

[@BattlestarGenesis]

great vid

[@montv291]

Looks really good... essentially.

[@dg7438]

Great job! I want to do that to my 128i. Did you use the 2 or 4 inch 3M 2080 trim?

[@SgtRock4445]

How did you wrap the bottom inside of the top trim? On my Audi S3 8v it is ribbed. Do you push the wrap into every single rib? And you wrap the mirror caps or do you just replace them with black ones?

[@terence4427]

Nice job. How long does the wrap last?

[@kimpham7592]

What do you charge for a chrome delete, let’s say a Nissan Altima. 4 door handles , all trim around the doors and the front grill

[@richlin2384]

How did u smooth and tuck the trims on the upper window , between the chrome and rubber trim ?

[@rawrrawr-lj4bd]

Love the vid where could i get the vinyl?

[@dbsimms63]

I paid someone to do my Q50RS and they cut some rubber trim on the pillar separating the front and rear door on the driver's side. Any adhesive I can use to stick the piece on the pillar so it's not flopping around

[@fasteddy07]

The video style reminds me of the blair witch project.

[@cambronjohnson7175]

Nice car 🥰

[@arbit733]

Danny 😍

[@RickyMoto]

Are you able to still use that strip vinyl piece for the curved part towards the back? If so maybe doing it in 2 pieces and meeting at the triangle and overlaying it with knifeless?

[@kingdrosive4102]

I need to do this on my red Lexus IS250..with the black wheels I have, I just need the chrome delete

[@marcinmarszaek660]

What is this tape name exacly ? It looks awesome.

[@bami]

nice video how many grad celcius should be heated the gun

[@tonidjelepski8673]

How do you cut the top piece where the rubber is connected to the trim

[@WhosJohn]

how do you do the seam where the tape meets that larger piece of wrap?

[@kentao4]

What happened to the black s5 badge switch?

[@manuelalmanzar24]

Where can I get the that paper?

[@fubarace1027]

My question would be how did that vinyl you did just above the exhaust tip, @24:16, hold up to the heat?

[@invincible201xxx]

That piece is far enough from the exhaust. It's not sitting right on the exhaust tip

[@midlifemods]

Where can we buy all the products shown in the video?

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

Black ppf install. And the difference between vynal and ppf

[@gustavoreyes1746]

HOW DID YOU DO A PERFECT SEAM ON THE TOP ROUND CORNER OF THE BACK WINDOW WHERE THE WRAP MET THE SECOND SECTION

[@SurferSandman]

So.... could you just remove the trim cover it and reinstall? Or is that introducing too many variables?

[@daveerrington5166]

I would suggest just to remove the belt moldings. So much easier. on the Audis all that chrome is easily removed.

[@ricky-oy4py]

where’s the vinyl from?

[@dustyb2009]

was that beginning cut on the chrome trim?? what do you do if that happens?

[@slowestamg]

I saw that too, I hoped he would clarify but I feel like he ignored it as an “Oh sh*t”

[@jasondesouza2297]

What vinyl did you use for the Carbon mirors?

[@rj.productionzofficial]

Just use 3m carbon fiber vinyl

[@gk9417]

Can you put ppf over a engine hood after it’s been wrapped ✌️🇨🇦

[@wraplabmidwest]

Yes you can!

[@allboutthemojo]

​@wraplabmidwest how much would a shop charge to do this? Approximately

[@jcdatruth9369]

I'll be done scratched up my Lexus trying to do this. Appreciate the pros! Still dont know who idea it was to mess up a GS F sport with ugly ahh chome trimmings 🤦🏾

[@rg53083]

How do you "Push" off a window as you're pulling vinyl HaHa But essentially, id have started with side back window, then go along the top. Now the seam is facing backwards, taking the brunt of the wind while driving, possibly causing it to lift at the seam. No?

[@Luuuugn]

i cannot get it good to the weather seal. Feels like it always shows a bit of chrome between the vinyl and the seal

[@jimklemens5018]

Tuck it in.

[@hassanwilridge2028]

nice how long do it last

[@jimklemens5018]

Years

[@hittingreens5646]

For first timers, pay the extra money for knifeless tape. $30 in tape can potentially save you hundreds if you damage your paint with the blade.

[@condomadness3223]

I've looked everywhere...can you do a chrome wrap? I have an S550 Mercedes-Benz in beautiful condition, but the chrome trim is milky and can't be removed. I see all Chrome Delete with black, but CAN YOU DO A CHROME WRAP ON THE WINDOW TRIM?

[@jimklemens5018]

Yes

[@thomasrudder9639]

Jeeezzzz, way to make this look way more complicated than it is.

[@LilRedGTI]

Show the join next time its what some of us want to see

[@matthewnaderi]

Dumb question… what’s the best way to figure out how much sq footage of wrap you need for a vehicle ?

[@slowestamg]

You can use a tape measure, measuring tape or any other measuring medium. You can also use a piece of painters tape/magnet to tack the tip of the tape where you want to start, put a piece of tape or magnet along the way at a mid point to hold it up and at the end of where you’ll be wrapping and just cut the film when you’ve pulled enough. Plenty of different ways, you just have to pick the method that works best for you. No dumb questions brother, we all have different brain chemistry and life perceptions.

[@slowestamg]

Once you have your measurement just look up a square footage calculator if you don’t feel like doing math 😂

[@donaldmak7845]

Why use two brands of vinyl? The longevity, fading, would be different between the brands.

[@TooLegitWoW]

Do a chrome delete w carbon fiber tape on a black car

[@baxrok2.]

Wouldn't you rather use a semi gloss or matte finish?

[@davidm6751]

How much would a job like this cost just to lower trim of the window? That is all I have that is chrome and they want it $500-$750!😱

[@hassanwilridge2028]

how much do ti cost

[@jimklemens5018]

$60.

[@EOMFDdaudits]

Why didn’t you just use a detail brush on it while you washed it the first time? Then you wouldn’t have to keep going back and forth getting the dirt out after with a towel and tuck tool.

[@vastilio]

Didn't know steven crowder had a son

[@_SHANE_]

Not the mirror caps ...

[@JitTrippinOng]

“squeegy”

[@Dmaelstrom]

This or plastidip?

[@jimklemens5018]

You don't need a heat gun.

[@CHB_98]

anything i can use at home to tuck don’t have that tool your using

[@jimklemens5018]

Buy the tool for about $4.

[@laurentduval7025]

Yes but no. What else ?

[@chauffeurmarco]

Nice. I never like chrome on vehicle. It is obsolete.

[@TMCHL]

sorry but black ppf would be much much better finish...
