    Anyone done de chroming on a vehicle?

    I’ve personally not done it but just wondering about timings. It’s pretty much just window mouldings / surrounds.

    I’ve done a few now and would say your looking at a couple of hours possibly more depending on the vehicle. Can be really tedious if you have to tuck the material under rubber seals. Here’s a q50 I done a few months back. Centre of grill was black already

    I think you can buy pre cut rolls for the top door moldings cant remember where from but will help with the cost.

    I have de chromed a black 6 series convertible BMW with gloss black wrap vinyl.
    Easy to do……I didn’t remove any of the trim and really changed the look of the car.

    As said just a case of making sure everything is tucked in neatly.
