How To Blackout Chrome On Any Vehicle (Easy Chrome Delete)

[@robertprice9052]

Looks good! Two things: practice on a separate object first to see how a product works. Second, start spraying off object then cross over in one smooth stroke. Back and forth in small areas can give uneven finishes or dry spots from over spray. No ding, just trying to help. You did a good job! Looks awesome!

Maybe also leave it in some warm water for a little bit before you start.

[@KentRodgman]

As soon as I heard "picked it up at Canadian Tire" I was sold

[@Dray12321]

Right 😂

[@justinkyle5025]

That doesn't inspire too much confidence for me 🤣

@@justinkyle5025 idk when i buy the high quality stuff they have they never disappoint and their warranties be good

[@goodcitizen3910]

So were those cans 😄

[@jeremyf.2706]

I've used this stuff to tint taillights, and it works beautifully!!! The subtle changes between coats let's you get just the tint your looking for without goin to dark with just one or two coats. Give it a shot folks you'll be impressed.

[@goldngooose]

How did it hold up on headlights?

[@goldngooose]

Tail lights** my bad lol

[@dogfeva4319]

If I do the chrome bumper will it peel off?

[@jeremyf.2706]

@@dogfeva4319 I used it on taillights. Chrome wheels and chrome bumpers I assume would be a very similar coating if not the same thing. So just use the directions as directed I guess.

[@byrnespeed]

When spraying, from a gun or a rattle can. Always go all the way to the edge of your parts before you stop your spray, it will be a lot less work for you, and your job is gonna look better because you'll have even coats with each passes. Good job btw looks great! Cheers mate!!!

[@thehondarice]

Yeah that spray pattern was yikers lol

[@byrnespeed]

@@thehondarice no shit lol... Easy Chrome Delete...and easy sandpaper/acetone/buffing/re-chrome those parts delete... lol

[@thehondarice]

Byrne Didn’t clean the surface, didn’t sand it or use any adhesion promoter, no primer and that spray pattern was shite.

[@robertgoodwin4730]

Great job! I think it looks way better blacked out. I am bias as I really like the trend of black trims and black rims! Fun to watch - Keep Going!

[@gsb0b]

when he went for the fourth coat i was like this guy is a real hulkamaniac

[@PierceMcGowan]

I love this comment

[@misdirectionuntold2510]

Used this on my silverado. Rear bumper came out great. Still there. The front grille and bumper came out nice but almost appeared blueish strange as that may seem. Ended up just sanding it all down and going black.. it definitely Holds up well I think…. I would recommend it. Four coats is almost better but will appear less chromish.

[@bethanyteti9844]

Im sure the smoke would look better but the shadow paint man ,u did a hell of a job!!!!

[@SagiFireSirena]

THAT IS DOPE!!!!!!! (90’s slang) You did a FANTASTIC job!!!!!

[@glennpert]

I have a 68 cougar and wanted to do this on all the chrome. Appreciate the video. It confirmed It for me.

[@therealjoshtodd]

So it turns regular chrome into black chrome. That's pretty cool. I dig it

[@x-man5056]

I tried using that product and didn't get the results I was looking for. There was too much black pigment in the color can and it came out too opaque for what I wanted. Didn't like the texture it left either but never got to the clear. Your results look better, at least in the light you were in. The sun gives a whole different perspective sometimes.

[@Cookie-yp5qg]

Almost looks like black chrome, looks pretty good

[@jeffruebens8355]

I used a plasti-dip type spray paint with a blasted titanium finish. The rough finish and mix of black and gray colors helps hide bug guts on the front of the vehicle. After 6 months, a little has come off, but in an even, good looking pattern. Eventually it will be easy to sand and paint over.

[@chrisdreier923]

Looks like the “nightshade” trim option on newer Toyota’s. Kind of a black chrome. I like it

[@grantwes]

I would love to see how this has held up over time? How does it handle day to day abuse?

[@PatrickHenry911]

Me too. I would think using steel wool or a fine grit sandpaper first, then primer and/or adhesion promoter first would be a more permanent solution for blacking out chrome.

[@iiviijj5893]

@@PatrickHenry911I agree, to have it more durable. I want to preserve the original chrome on a bull bar I would bypass using steel wool and do adhesion promotor already? To protect original chrome, I'm thinking to have layer of rubberized coating and blacken it out with applied adhesion promotor before paint.

[@kevinfades]

That Escalade in the back color looks sweet

[@ssppiieegg]

Looking up how to do this and seeing the defunctland merch made me so happy

[@danielcarcamo6336]

That looks sick bro great job. It give that truck a rugged look. 🍻

[@aschadel]

How has it lasted so far? Looks awesome! I test painted a part of an old bumper and think I’m gonna do both front and rear but looking for feedback on durability. Thanks!!

[@RocketVet]

That is gorgeous! Cool alternative to matte black or gloss black. I may consider this on my Ram blackout.

[@jamesweber4938]

How does it look after 3 years ?

[@TheDogLife5225]

I like your attention to detail. Finished product looks great!

[@KCnLex]

It isn't really black, it looks more like a graphite which looked cool and was better than chrome.. Did you find a product that gives you shiny black finish? I want to cover trim where I couldn't replace it with black trim and have used vinyl in some places, but if it is curved, it is a pain to get vinyl on properly. Replacement trim can often be really cheap looking so I hoped that spray painting the OEM chrome trim might be a better idea

[@ChadPenoyer]

looks good, nice job. Going to try this on my wife's SUV grill & chrome parts

[@bobberbuilder6122]

I've used this stuff before looks good for about 2 months then turns green and scratched off very easily i would maybe suggest a good 2k clear afterwards to protect a little better

[@tashadfowler3465]

You got to tell people 2k by Eastwood or spraymaxx or they'll end up buying that shity Rust-Oleum 2K fake version or 2x thinking it's the same thing

[@10shownuff]

So use the 2k clear in place of the clear that comes with the kit or in addition to?

[@bobberbuilder6122]

@@10shownuff yes spray max 2k instead of the clear thar comes in the kit

[@ivanzemskov6323]

Yo, did the same thing to my grill a year ago and now it’s turned a dark green color and lost the tint effect just looked good for a few months

[@taylorbain1329]

No shit really??

[@bintarosector9]

I tried it in my chrome bar chair, but I had the adhesion promoter first as my very first coat and then Duplicolor shadow in succession coats. I have the thoughts of it getting peeled off after a while so I applied the adhesion promoter first for better paint adhesion.

[@PierceMcGowan]

Yeah I think the adhesion promoter would’ve helped mine out!

[@ex9lh7th7k]

How is it holding up? Can you give us a review? It looks good.

[@Skull0023]

Did you sand it sir? What grit numbrr did you use?

[@airborneleads1981]

How’s that paint holding up?

[@TreadTalk247]

You are right it has a blue tint to it, I don’t love it but well done. If it had been a true smoked chrome it would look fantastic!!

[@jpgonzalez6325]

When painting any smooth surface u should sand or even scuff with a scotch bright pad so it adheres

[@evanfinger411]

Doing that on a chrome plated plastic won't work or help, those Duplicolor cans have a self etch in them that makes them adhere.

[@spotonndiyvids6065]

I believe at least using 2000-3000 grit will help trust me I’ve done many rims with that paint with and without sanding the sanding ones lasted 2-3X longer

[@Nemo_423]

Not with this stuff unless you want to see every scratch in it.

[@cky163100]

It’s hilarious watching two ppl argue over who’s right online. 😂😂😂

[@Nemo_423]

@@cky163100 oh i aint arguing with anyone just making a statement about not scuffing it up , thats straight from the manufacturer. But hey if they wanna scratch that chrome to lay down the shadow chrome then thats on them. But then we will see a video of a bunch of boo hooing saying " its junk" . Lol

[@sharkey4086]

I like that black chrome look....Great Job 👏 looks Awesome!

[@burningmanmike]

I used black Hammerite paint. It adheres well and leaves a nice finish that is hard and chip resistant.

[@noesandoval1013]

It almost looks like too glossy Nice video thanks for sharing I’m definitely not doing this way. I thank you for sharing

[@jelljell7871]

Thats great , i would prefer the matte color ... any idea to make it matte ?

Maybe a matte clear coat not sure

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

"Black Chrome" Looks great 👍😎

[@dustinstradeski9379]

Have you done a follow up video to see how it held up. Jusy curious on if there was any pealing or fading of any kind

[@doyoulikelofi2244]

What would stop you from using regular spray paint after a few coats of the black out?

[@oneofonerg]

Great video man, definitely helped make my decision. Appreciate the time & effort

[@carloscabellero4661]

Nice looks good bro hey so no light sanding or buffing how has the paint held up ??

[@pyozoa]

Great video, thanks for sharing! After seeing this, I am leaning towards doing something like this to my chrome bumper as well. I think it gives it an updated look and seeing that you can adjust as to how much tint you want applied, it makes it even better. Please update us on how it is doing now seeing as you did this about 9 months ago. I saw another comment that said it changed color on them after a while. Is your's still looking the way it did when you first applied it? I would really like to know how its holding up. Thanks again for the great video!

[@justspacemonkey]

How well does it hold up over time? Always looks good from the start thanks

[@taylorbain1329]

“ I guess like a Tiffany blue? That’s what everyone calls it “ no bro that’s what women call it. Good video I was thinking hard about blacking out the chrome on my chev.

[@PierceMcGowan]

Wc fab (-tiff) powder coat paint code for Tiffany blue. That’s where I was referencing from

[@halsilzly5884]

What did you do to prep the grille prior to paint

[@banyarydym]

My thoughts also. I would've first sanded down that chrome with 80-grit to just dull the shine. Then I would apply a self-etching primer before my desired color.

[@adammammana367]

Almost like black chrome. Looks good.

[@Eagletactical]

I thought it would look to much like chrome and not enough black but once back on the truck it looks really nice

[@hanscloss4063]

looks great but will it stay that way?

[@diamondrmp]

That's not blacking out or deleting its tinting like you said. They are very different looks not interchangeable descriptions as you are referring. It looks really good and I'm glad I clicked this video because I'm going to do that to my girls civic.

[@PierceMcGowan]

Yeah it said it was blacking out on the can, its definitely smoked not blacked out.

[@vnkable]

No scuffing? No adhesive promoter? No buffing?

[@aalonag8217]

Love the video, Love how the color came out !!! Quick question, If I wanted to use that spray can on my front and rear bumpers of my truck... could I just spray on the color or ... would I have to sand down the chrome first and then spray after ?

[@PierceMcGowan]

I’d do a light sand for adhesion if I were to do it again. I’m no expert though!

[@ll_distribution]

Thanks I appreciate the time and it's a great review of CT products. Cheers!

[@dragonfly6243]

I think it looks great. It came out almost like steel blue ish. I think it's awesome. Great job. 👍

"Yeah, hyper dark..." 🗨😉🌌

[@megaman4201]

for pushing down the edge of your tape, almost anything else works better than a metal object, plastic squeegee is wonderful, plastic scraper, your fingernails, the little cardboard wrap around a single edge razor blade, even a piece of tape wrapped around itself several times to make it thicker and stiffer works well...you don't want to use something sharp like a screwdriver, potential to scratch the surface your masking and also has a tendency to tear the edge of the tape.

[@ssweeney9691]

Yea you really wanted "FORD blue"! Its ok.🤫 Our secret😂

[@danielr5565]

Did you sand the chrome or did you just wipe it down with rubbing alcohol before painting????

[@mschumaker1]

So what’s the advantage of the hyper dip stuff vs this? Seems like the end result is the same. Maybe just thst the hyperdip peels off ?

Looks awesome...and awesome job on prep and process man!

How well has this lasted for you? I wanna do the same on my Jeep. I think you should of went darker it doesn't look very dark. It might look darker in person or something but when you put it on your truck at the end of the video it still looked chrome. Why didn't you blackout the logo?????

[@the250mikec]

Tried it out on some tail lights and some other peices. Got small circles of chrome showing through due to improper prep. But was impressed with the results for the price
