Some day car manufacturers will realize that chrome was cool last time at 50's
nah but audi cant change an additional $4K for a black optics package then
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love chrome!
until then we'll keep chrome deleting them lol!
Your grammar made my brain hurt
I would suggest using knifeless tape for beginners. 90 percent of us ain't actual surgeons.
To add to my suggestion, knifeless tape saves time and effort needed for cutting the vinyl wrap. The tape cost $ but actually worth it in the end.
@@richardlee6698 I noticed someone use that thin little tape, I guess it was knifeless tape that went underneath the wrap. But he only used on top part of chrome trim piece. Wondering if you can put 2 pieces of knifeless tape on top and bottom of the same chrome trim piece. I’ll keep searching, because that looks so much easier. Worst case, it does look perfect. If it last a couple years, well worth not seeing that ugly chrome trim! Lol

nah SEND IT
You mean 100% of us in this chat aren’t
I respect your blade skills. Much more precise than mine. For that reason, whenever possible I remove all of those trims and wrap them off the vehicle. I'm more comfortable doing it that way.
How do you pop the trim off?
a lot of vehicles you can't remove trim without breaking it so leaving it on the vehicle is safer and easier in the long term
I got quoted $700 to black out my chrome on my car and after watching this video, I can save myself a ton of money by doing this myself
How’d it go?
How'd it go?
How’d it go?
…How’d it go?
How’d it go?
Haha..."essentially"...was thinking the same thing...love the humor between friends/coworkers. Great job w/this tutorial gents! Keep up the great work...learned a lot!!
Doing it yourself is fine if you have a lot of patience, time, sweat and have a decent dry, non raining place to do it, in addition if your great at installing window tint then there you go, now in those cases your not good at it, its fine and you shouldn't be embarrassed in finding a shop with some talent like this guy, its worth paying for
very well worded!
I would suggest to roll window down so the top window seal gonna give you more space to push the vinyl under the rubber 😉🙌🏼
I think he uses window to stabilize his hand
It won't get tucked into the window, its trimmed to the edge of the gasket
For first timers, pay the extra money for knifeless tape. $30 in tape can potentially save you hundreds if you damage your paint with the blade.
Love this! I’m getting my q5 sport back in white and I was not paying for the black optic package so wrapping I shall go. I’d love to see blacking out the fender. And other parts of the Audi.
I watched this video. My car has no aftermarket kit for blackout trim. I watched this with the lil things I learned and it came out fantastic! Thank you for making this video.
glad it worked out!
Essentially I love supporting up and coming channels and as you can see you got a new sub. ty
Found that it is more effective to roll down the window, and some cars are easier by just removing the molding assembly and doing the wrap on a table.
if removable, then yes
“You forgot to say essentially” 😂😂😂
Great video!
"essentially" lol
This video is perfect, you guys are great. You make it look so easy even though I know it’s not going to be lol. “ As you can see essentially.”
Waiting for my vinyl to be delivered so I can do this myself! 🤞🏻
UW-L. Nice. Class of 2000 for me.
class of 2017!
Nice meeting you guys today
Looks really good... essentially.
great content! this was in my recommendation so I decided to take a look, also if you just took a pen and stabbed a hole in the film, you can make the relief cut there or just waste cut; both the curve cut and the poke cut work well.
"kiss of heat." I see JP inspired you!
JP inspired indeed!
That could not have been cheap goddamn, absolute banger thanks for the info. Ready to knock out a chrome delete now! Solid work
How did it go?
@@rayzecor It took me all day into the night on my b7 passat. Looks good though. Definatley would recommend having a squeegee to press down on the vinyl. Also, a tucking tool and a quality razor knife will make the job easier. 👌
I ended up using the wrap they sell at advance auto, and I actually like it. Good stuff still holding up all this time later
@@red2g Good stuff. I have a squeegee and a sort of trim removal prying tool which I can maybe use as a tucking tool. Will try when I'm freer
I own a B7 too, btw, but I'll be doing the delete on a w205 C class
Thanks, I'm redoing my chrome delete on my C5 05 allroad.. But using high gloss 5D carbon fiber wrap.
Amazing job! Can you send the link of the vinyl?
vinyl is 3m gloss black chrome delete roll from metrorestyling.com!
I would suggest just to remove the belt moldings. So much easier. on the Audis all that chrome is easily removed.
Essentially 🙌🏽
So Am I going to be able to handle this diy project
Cheers really helpful. Done my e92 looks great
How do you "Push" off a window as you're pulling vinyl HaHa
But essentially, id have started with side back window, then go along the top. Now the seam is facing backwards, taking the brunt of the wind while driving, possibly causing it to lift at the seam. No?
I need to do this on my red Lexus IS250..with the black wheels I have, I just need the chrome delete
Came out dope bro 💪🏾‼️
The video style reminds me of the blair witch project.
I'll be done scratched up my Lexus trying to do this. Appreciate the pros! Still dont know who idea it was to mess up a GS F sport with ugly ahh chome trimmings 🤦🏾
Dig the UW-Lacrosse crew neck! Earned a Wisconsin subscriber!
yessir! pleasure meeting you today!
i tried this myself on my lexus rc 300, and it went okay. I definitely have air bubbles showing in some spots which bugs the heck out of me. It looks great from far distance, but up close, it looks kinda bad.... gonna touch it up again tomorrow... wish me luck
practice makes perfect
Show the join next time its what some of us want to see
nice video
how many grad celcius should be heated
the gun
Idk about celsius but we use porter cable heat guns and keep the setting on the dial with the little thermometer facing down for wrap. Idk exact measurement but maybe around 400-500 degrees F. that's just a shot in the dark, I could be way off
I just found your channel and have a question: my car was recently repainted, and the black trim was supposed to be painted black as well - it was already black- it just was supposed to be repainted black to look new again. Instead the paint and body
shop used heavy duty black tape as the accent- and wondered how does tape hold up in a state with lots of rain and sun (and no garage for protection)?
I don’t think my hand is steady enough. That looks 100% better though.
Do a chrome delete w carbon fiber tape on a black car
Jeeezzzz, way to make this look way more complicated than it is.
Great video!!!!
Now I know I don't want to do this myself lol
HOW DID YOU DO A PERFECT SEAM ON THE TOP ROUND CORNER OF THE BACK WINDOW WHERE THE WRAP MET THE SECOND SECTION
very slow and careful cut in the gap between the two sections. practice makes perfect!
Awesome! Thanks
What do you charge for a chrome delete, let’s say a Nissan Altima. 4 door handles , all trim around the doors and the front grill
reach out on the website!
Pourquoi ne pas employer le fil de coupe ?😊@@wraplabmidwest
My question would be how did that vinyl you did just above the exhaust tip, @24:16, hold up to the heat?
That piece is far enough from the exhaust. It's not sitting right on the exhaust tip
so far so good because its not on an area that gets direct heat right away
Is this prone to peeling off when power washing the car at a self service?
How did u smooth and tuck the trims on the upper window , between the chrome and rubber trim ?
very carefully and slowly lol. I also used vinyl wrap tuck tools I got on amazon! The set with the blue, black and red ones
So.... could you just remove the trim cover it and reinstall? Or is that introducing too many variables?
you could but its more of a hassle and opens the door to possible issues if you take it off improperly
I paid someone to do my Q50RS and they cut some rubber trim on the pillar separating the front and rear door on the driver's side. Any adhesive I can use to stick the piece on the pillar so it's not flopping around
I would go back to the shop and have them replace that piece or pay for the replacement if it's obnoxious. If anything is broken during dissassembly, I always replace it
What happened to the black s5 badge switch?
we buy black badging and replace with black ones
Black ppf install. And the difference between vynal and ppf
ppl is more difficult to install in small areas like this. Doable but a lot more difficult, especially for beginners
Hi can you please show how to wrap mercedes grill and badge without removing from the car
Do you cover the weather strip?
I remember when I could see that close without cheater glasses...
great vid
i cannot get it good to the weather seal. Feels like it always shows a bit of chrome between the vinyl and the seal
Tuck it in.
yeah its difficult, you have to get the cut to be exact for no chrome to show
Danny 😍
Can you put ppf over a engine hood after it’s been wrapped ✌️🇨🇦
Yes you can!
@wraplabmidwest how much would a shop charge to do this? Approximately
Dumb question… what’s the best way to figure out how much sq footage of wrap you need for a vehicle ?
You can use a tape measure, measuring tape or any other measuring medium. You can also use a piece of painters tape/magnet to tack the tip of the tape where you want to start, put a piece of tape or magnet along the way at a mid point to hold it up and at the end of where you’ll be wrapping and just cut the film when you’ve pulled enough. Plenty of different ways, you just have to pick the method that works best for you. No dumb questions brother, we all have different brain chemistry and life perceptions.
Once you have your measurement just look up a square footage calculator if you don’t feel like doing math 😂
Not the mirror caps ...
What temperature of heat from the gun
Are you able to still use that strip vinyl piece for the curved part towards the back? If so maybe doing it in 2 pieces and meeting at the triangle and overlaying it with knifeless?
yeah you can do a seam on that piece as well but we use scrap vinyl and do it in one piece!
What vinyl did you use for the Carbon mirors?
Just use 3m carbon fiber vinyl
the mirrors were replaced with real carbon fiber mirror caps
Nice car 🥰
Where can we buy all the products shown in the video?
Metrorestyling for the vinyl and amazon for the tools
Nice job. How long does the wrap last?
2357 years
5 years or so
Why use two brands of vinyl? The longevity, fading, would be different between the brands.
both high quality brands with same life expectancy
Is there a preferred wrap that gives the black chrome look?
idk about black chrome but gloss black is what we normally use
Where can I get the that paper?
Metrorestyling.com, look at chrome delete section
How did you wrap the bottom inside of the top trim? On my Audi S3 8v it is ribbed. Do you push the wrap into every single rib?
And you wrap the mirror caps or do you just replace them with black ones?
more often then not I'll replace mirror caps with carbon fiber or black options. I can wrap it but it takes twice as long and it'll have seams depending on the angles and design of the mirrors. Not all mirrors can be done in one piece!
where’s the vinyl from?
metrorestyling! chrome delete roll
Great job! I want to do that to my 128i. Did you use the 2 or 4 inch 3M 2080 trim?
I think I used 2 inch for the thin and then used scrap vinyl for the cubed little window section
Didn't know steven crowder had a son
how do you do the seam where the tape meets that larger piece of wrap?
cut in the small gap between the two pieces. I use a 30 degree NT cutter blade
What is this tape name exacly ? It looks awesome.
the vinyl is a 3M chrome delete roll
How do you cut the top piece where the rubber is connected to the trim
very slowly and carefully. I use a 30 degree NT cutter blade with only blade pressure. I always crack the blade so I have a brand new sharp blade for cuts like this
No skill and im gonna attempt this pretty soon on my A5.... wish me luck 😅
I cant be the only one who saw it?🇦🇱
Love the vid where could i get the vinyl?
vinyl can be bought through Metrorestyling.com. Look at chrome delete rolls!
Why didn’t you just use a detail brush on it while you washed it the first time? Then you wouldn’t have to keep going back and forth getting the dirt out after with a towel and tuck tool.
nice
how long do it last
Years
5 years or so
Wouldn't you rather use a semi gloss or matte finish?
More like chrome hiding! But looks nice
Nice. I never like chrome on vehicle. It is obsolete.
“squeegy”
This or plastidip?
What's the point?
how much do ti cost
$60.
submit a quote request!
Yes but no.
What else ?
Just use a duct tap from a dollar store
anything i can use at home to tuck don’t have that tool your using
Buy the tool for about $4.
get the tool from amazon. they're pretty cheap
sorry but black ppf would be much much better finish...
camera work is poor. major headache
HOILD THE EFFING CAMERA STILL!!!!
why do they think people like chrome :(
'How to black out chrome' or 'how to chrome delete with black'
Chrome is the tackiest thing ever
Are you albanian
I saw the 🇦🇱 too.
The chrome looks way better. Why would you black out the chrome. Chrome gives it character and class specially chrome mirrors looks awesome.
You don't need a heat gun.
This channel is dead
not anymore!
Worst camera control I have seen! Like watching whilst on a rollercoaster!
It was fine.
