Dechroming - Small changes, Big Difference!
Small changes can make the world of difference when done right, and don't break the bank! From just your mirrors or the roof of your car, (like the iconic union jack on Mini's), making your car your own with the smaller features is sometimes all it needs.
We offer a dechrome service for both the interior and exterior of your vehicle. Most commonly this will be in a Matte, Satin or Gloss Black vinyl, but we also often see Carbon Fibre effects as well as metallic colour installations coming through the workshop here at Creative Solutions.
What is Dechroming?
A dechroming pack, or chrome delete as its otherwise known is simply an aftermarket service to cover the exposed chrome trims and edges of your vehicle with a vinyl wrap. You will often see this done with either a Gloss, Satin, Matte or Carbon Fibre Black vinyl - but any vinyl specialist will be able to entertain any colour request you may have! The result and the vision however is always the same: a sleek, understated, expensive look to make your vehicle stand out from the crowd.
How much does it cost to dechrome a car?
The cost to dechrome a car will depend on the model of the car, the size, and how much coverage you are wanting.
Typically for exteriors, this will include:
- Front Grill
- Window Trims
- Roof Racks
- Door Handles
- Bumper Edges
- Wing Mirrors
- Car Badges
- Lighting Surrounds
For interiors, you may consider:
- Steering Wheel Centre
- Door Trims
- Centre Consol
- Gear Stick or Buttons (Manual / Automatic)
Regular 4/5 seater vehicles may fall between £450 - £550 for a external dechrome. Larger vehicles can cost between £750 - £1,800. Remember attention to detail and skill in application is everything to make sure a dechrome service is long-lasting, looks great and has a professional finish every time.
We can offer a no-obligation quotation service for all levels of dechroming you would like to see. We can also send you samples of the types of vinyl (for a small fee) so you can hand-select in advance your dechrome colour and finish.

How long does a dechrome last?
We know the internet is filled right now with DIY videos and reems of sellers online selling vinyl which may lead you to thinking you can do this yourself. HOWEVER, we would ALWAYS recommend having any detailing service done by a professional.
The quality, precision and patience required for a vehicle wrap, especially on areas as small as required for a dechrome call for qualified handler with the materials, tools, space, and equipment to do the best job.
The durability of your chrome delete depends heavily on the installation, as well as after installation care like how gently you wash your car (avoid high pressure, car drive-through washes, and sponges with a mesh cover). All this aside though, the vinyl used is the same quality as a full car wrap service, so you should see your dechrome lasting 5-7years with virtually no maintenance required during this time.
Can I remove a dechrome vinyl application myself?
Having your vehicle dechromed is not a permanent change - it is reversible.
As long as you are patient and performed correctly, it will leave no damage, no residue and no lasting effect on your chrome trims, inside or outside.
We recommend obtaining a specific vinyl remover spray, applying a little heat (get that extension cable out and plug in a hair dryer, or a professional heat gun) to de-bond the adhesive agent and remove slowly with a damp cloth. Once the main strips of vinyl are removed, you can go back over to remove any residue gently. DO NOT scrub or apply harsh chemicals that you would not apply to your car during general maintenance and cleaning.
