First Time? Here’s How I Blacked Out My Car Trim with Matte Chrome Delete

Let’s be real—wrapping chrome trim seemed intimidating. Heat guns, bubbles, wrinkles… I almost paid a detailer. But then I found ChroMorpher Matte Chrome Delete Tape, and figured I’d give DIY a shot. One afternoon, some patience, and a few sips of coffee later—my ride looked factory blacked-out.


Why I Chose Matte

  • Stealth Look: No reflection, no shine—just smooth, aggressive black trim.
  • Matches My Paint: I drive a dark gray sedan. Matte looks OEM-level clean.
  • No Bubbles: This air-release stuff really works. I had 0 experience and got 0 bubbles.

Tools I Used (Nothing Fancy)

  • 1 Roll of Matte Tape (1.2in) – for window trim
  • Microfiber Towel + Isopropyl Alcohol – to clean the surface
  • Box Cutter – for trimming edges
  • Hair Dryer – yep, just from the bathroom

Step-by-Step (What Actually Worked)

  1. **Cleaned** every chrome piece with alcohol and wiped dry.
  2. **Measured** and pre-cut the tape 1–2cm longer than each section.
  3. **Peeled** slowly while pressing it on with fingers—no squeegee needed.
  4. **Heated** the tape just slightly around corners, then trimmed flush.

🔥 Total time: 2 hours. Savings? About $300+ from a shop quote.


Before & After

I wish I did this sooner. My chrome trim made the car look older than it is. Now? It looks newer, more premium, and people ask me if it came this way. All I say is, “Nope—just ChroMorpher.”
