Painting chrome trim creates a custom finish with nearly endless possibilities.
A permanent solution with superior color choices and durability.
The first step in the chrome removal process is the acid dip. This process involves submerging the part in an acid solution formulated to breakdown and remove chrome plating. Using the correct acid solution is critical as it targets only the chrome plating without compromising the base material. The chemical reaction disolves the chrome, preparing the part for the next steps.
Once the chrome has been removed, the part is thoroughly rinsed and neutralized to halt the acid reaction and remove any remaining chemical residue. This step is necessary to prevent chemical residue from interfering with the future coatings. The part is meticulously cleaned to remove any remaining contaiminats or oils to leave a pristing foundation for the next steps.
With the chrome fully removed and the part cleaned, the next step is surface preparation. This involves sanding and preparing the surface to ensure optimal paint adhesion and a smooth finished surface. At this time any minor imperfections in the base material are addressed. Proper prep work is essential for achieving a lasting finish that stands up to the elements.
Once prepped, the part is ready for paint. From a high-gloss blackout to a sleek, monochromatic body color match — the possiblities are nearly endless. Gone are the days when you have to decide between sacraficing OEM fitment and quality or only choosing from a few color options that the OEMs offer. Our painters will apply your preferred color followed by a clear coat to lock in the finish for years to come.
After curing, the part undergoes a final buff and polish to refine the finish, removing minor surface imperfections and enhancing gloss. This step ensures a professional, long-lasting result that looks exceptional and holds up to daily wear.

While nothing is rock chip proof this process offers significant durability improvements over every alternative.
No, our acid solution aggressively targets metallic surfaces, so parts with a metallic base material can’t undergo this process. Additionally, parts with rubber gaskets or adhesive aren’t suitable for dipping. However, we can often remove gaskets, hardware, and other components before processing the base part.

This depends on the part. The stripped part will take on the color of the underlying base material, typically a shade of gray. You can often get an idea of the final color by checking the unfinished side or back of the part.
No. After the part has had the chrome removed, it is thoroughly cleaned and acid-neutralized to ensure all chemical residue is removed.
