Best way to black out chrome?

[Kris77]

Taking ownership of a 22 Yukon XL SLT in a few weeks. Really wanted the look of the AT4 but can't find one anywhere close. Going to try and black out all the chrome on this one.
Wondering what the best way to go about this would be. Tape everything off and Plasti Dip spray it? Better way?

This is a good question, and i am following this as i want to black out my '23 tahoe without needing to spend way too much money goong up trim levels just to do so.

Many have done:
- Vinyl wrap the chrome trim along windows, roof rails, front end, tailgate, moldings
- Paint the trim by removing then replacing
- Paint the Denali grill
- Paint the chrome on door handles

Pricing has varies depending on which process, but anywhere from $1000-2500 have been the quotes on here

Chrome delete picture thread

Let's see your pics after doing a chrome delete... Got ours done last week after 8 months of ownership. Most the emblems were removed first week we had it. The grill is a factory gmc part that I installed a while back. Roof rack is painted and the rest is wrapped. Rear gmc logo I had sprayed...

What kind of vinyl? Type of finish? How hard is it to do vinyl? From what i hsve seen on youtube it doesnt look terrible hard but i am not the most handy and not sure i could make it look good, but would be willing to try my hand.

I'd love to see more about what you used and how you did it, how it came out.

Plasti Dip is by far the easiest and cheapest. Best thing is if you screw up you can peel it off and restart without having to buy more wrap. Here is the rear emblem I just did on our Yukon yesterday.

Plasti dip or vinyl. Dip is easy & cheap & removable

I use Vivid brand, seems to work best for me. Shrinks and stretches nice. Knifeless tape is the best way to trim it in when making cuts on vehicle. Plenty of videos showing how it works. Here’s a couple pics when I did the side moldings.

Also the trim piece across the hood.
