Default Anyone do a chrome delete?

Looking to remove all of the chrome and brushed satin on my Platinum.

Anyone do this yet? Looking for pics, price and did you wrap it or paint it?

Had an 18 platinum and de-chromed it. Wrapped the applique on the rear, swapped out grill, mirror covers, door handles with all paint matched. New black wheels as well. Only chrome on it when I was done was were the tow hooks, traded in before I had a chance to do them...

Replacement XLT badges and a custom billet Rammstein logo to replace the lame blue oval.

On my 2019 Platinum I had the White Platinum color and found it was going to be more than I wanted to pay to do the chrome delete on it but I did find this site that says it can color match any OEM color for Vinyl if someone else is interested in it. I never did order from them so I cannot vouch for them but figured I can pass on the link.

Color X Labs Color Match Vinyl Wrap

So I ended up doing a vinyl wrap chrome delete. The only parts I didn’t have them do was the running boards and lower window trim. I plan on replacing the lower window trim with black parts from a lower package truck.

Before



In process


After

I'm in the process of it right now. Powder coated the wheels and bumpers, and painting everything else.
