Why Go Chrome Delete?
A chrome delete is when you cover or remove the shiny chrome trim from your car to give it a more stealthy, modern appearance. Many car owners choose this modification because:
- It enhances the car’s overall appearance, giving it a minimalist or aggressive look.
- Chrome delete protects the original trim from damage.
- ChroMorpher’s vinyl wrap offers a wide range of colors and textures, allowing you to fully customize your vehicle.
What You’ll Need:
- ChroMorpher Vinyl Wrap (choose your color and texture; popular choices include matte black, carbon fiber, or gloss finishes)
- A heat gun or hair dryer
- Plastic squeegee (to smooth out air bubbles)
- Utility knife for precision cuts
- Microfiber cloth for cleaning

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying ChroMorpher Vinyl Wrap
1. Prep Your Surface
Make sure the surface you’re applying the vinyl to is clean. Use a microfiber cloth with soap and water or a vinyl-safe cleaning solution to remove dirt, oils, or residue. This ensures the vinyl sticks properly.
2. Measure and Cut
Measure the area of your chrome trim, then cut a piece of ChroMorpher vinyl wrap slightly larger than the section you're covering. This gives you room to work with, ensuring no part of the trim is left exposed.
3. Apply the Vinyl
Peel the backing off your vinyl wrap and start applying it to the chrome area, working slowly from one end to the other. Use your plastic squeegee to smooth out any air bubbles as you go. The key is to work slowly to ensure a smooth, wrinkle-free finish.
4. Heat and Stretch
Using a heat gun or hair dryer, gently warm the vinyl to make it more pliable, especially around curves and corners. Be careful not to overheat it, which could cause damage.
5. Trim the Excess
After applying the vinyl, use a utility knife to carefully trim the excess wrap. Make sure to leave clean edges for a professional look.
6. Final Touches
Go over the surface with your squeegee one last time, ensuring there are no air bubbles or wrinkles. Heat the wrap again lightly to make sure it adheres fully.
