Dechroming is a popular vehicle styling upgrade that replaces factory chrome trim with subtle, modern vinyl finishes. At Pro Vinyl Manchester, we offer professional dechrome vehicle wrapping to transform window surrounds, grilles, badges, trims, and other chrome details into a cleaner, more aggressive look.
Whether you want a stealthy blackout finish or a colour-matched style to complement your vehicle, dechroming delivers a premium aesthetic without permanent modification.
What Is Dechrome Vehicle Wrapping?
Dechroming involves wrapping chrome or bright metal trim in high-quality vinyl rather than removing or repainting it. Common areas include:
- Window trims
- Front grilles
- Door handles
- Badges and emblems
- Roof rails
- Mirror trims
Vinyl dechrome is fully reversible, meaning you can return the vehicle to its original finish if needed — ideal for leased vehicles or future resale.
Why Choose Dechrome Vinyl Wrapping?
Modern, Sporty Appearance
Chrome trim can date a vehicle. Dechroming creates a clean, contemporary look that enhances body lines and styling.
Non-Permanent & Reversible
Unlike paint or replacement parts, vinyl can be removed safely without damaging the original finish.
Protects Original Trim
Vinyl helps shield chrome and metal trims from corrosion, stone chips, and discolouration.
Custom Finishes Available
Choose from gloss black, satin black, matte black, carbon fibre, or colour-matched vinyl to suit your vehicle.
Cost-Effective Upgrade
Dechroming delivers a big visual change using minimal material and installation time. It pairs perfectly with partial vehicle wraps or even full vehicle wraps for a cohesive, modern look.
