Re: Removing Chrome Trim

So Kyle did you remove the chrome trim around the windows, fog lights and running boards?

Or did you have to wrap them to black them out?

Is that vinyl wrapped? How did you put it back on?

We took everything off, Denali grill, rear bumper and running board chrome, window surrounds and sprayed them all body color black onyx. Debadged the whole truck, removed rear gmc emblem, blacked out the front one and put it back. Then we pulled the door strips. Only chrome now is the real chip goose rims and the keyless entry buttons on each door.

Oh, yeah, sprayed the roof rack body color as well. Truck looks exactly how I hoped.

door molding removed

It is glued on, won't leave any holes, park it outside in the hot sun for a bit then take some fishing line and run it in between the body and the molding, should cut the adhesive right in half then pull off the molding

Nice Rig!!! I was trying to decide!!! For sure going to pull off Chrome around windows I'm glad to here its just glued on... I like how you did yours.. you plan on leaving the roof and board chrome? I put on a black grill and Plastidipped the running lights and gmc emblem on the front yanked the Yukon off back and plan on palstidip the chrome emblem on back unless you know how to get that off? Maybe its just glued on as well?

My vehicle is all black and my windows are too. I want to get rid of that chrome around my windows like you did and thought the only way was to vinyl wrap them until I saw your post. So you actually removed the chrome and you can't see anything and it looks normal. That's probably easier than vinyl wrapping don't you think? c26f5075bd81b168fadfb7cf9e151c9e.jpg
