Vinilo cromado para vehículos

We do not recommend it. Chrome has very little stretch, so deep bumpers and compound curves need many seams, and film forced into a recess can pull back out a few days later. Chrome looks its best on roofs, hoods, mirrors, trim, stripes and badges. For a full car with movement in the color, look at color shift vinyl.

Cut lengths of 16 ft (5 m) start at $299 for Mirror Chrome, $259 for Neo Chrome and $209 for Matte Chrome. Cast Chrome is sold as a 5 x 52 ft roll for $1,365. Size the job with our material calculator, add extra for seams and inlays, and order everything from one production LOT.

Plan on about a year. Our chrome carries a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects, and it should come off within a year of installation. Left on longer, the adhesive builds and can leave residue or marks in the paint. Sun and heat age chrome fastest, so park under cover when you can.

It depends on where you drive. Some places, including Germany and Queensland in Australia, restrict finishes that can dazzle other drivers, and in the US the rules vary by state. A chrome roof or mirror caps draw far less attention than a full mirror body. Check your local rules before a large chrome job, and update your registration and insurer if a color change has to be declared.

Stretch and heat. The mirror is a thin metal layer, so pulling it too far or heating it too hot breaks it up into lines or a milky haze. That cannot be repaired, and it is not covered by the warranty. Use inlays for deep areas instead of stretching into them, and control heat with a steam vacuum or IR heater.

Close, but not exactly. Chrome reflects whatever is around it, so it looks different on every street, and in flat daylight it can read softer than studio photos. Order a sample and hold it against the car outside before you buy a roll.

Only if you have wrapped before. Chrome does not forgive lifting and re-laying the way gloss does, and every crease or overstretched corner stays visible. Practice on a mirror cap or a small trim piece first. For a hood, roof or anything larger, we strongly recommend an installer with chrome experience. Find a wrap shop near you.

By hand only, with a pH-neutral shampoo and a soft microfiber mitt. Rinse the grit off first, wash gently and pat dry with a clean microfiber towel. Do not use automatic washes, brushes, pressure washers, wax, polish or solvents. Each of them can scratch or cloud the mirror.

Cold, without heat, within a year of installation. Peel the film back quickly at a low angle. Heat softens the adhesive and leaves more of it on the paint. Matte Chrome (SCH01) is the exception and comes off with heat. Repainted or repaired panels can lift with the film.

There are three. Matte Chrome Passion Red (SCH01) keeps the metal depth with a low sheen. The satin colors in our Cast Chrome range give a softer reflection. And the satin chrome films in our satin vinyl collection, like Crimson Red (VCH401-S), put a silver layer under a satin top and last longer than mirror chrome.

A chrome delete is the opposite of this page. It covers factory chrome trim, like window surrounds, grilles and badges, in black film. For that, start with our gloss black vinyl wrap, and read our guide on wrapping over chrome trim.

No. It covers the paint from UV and light contact, but it does not stop stone chips. For chip protection, use clear PPF on the front end or color PPF instead of vinyl.
