Chrome delete for Model 3

[Rushs]

Are there any other places for Chrome delete other than OC detailing or SS Customs in Bay area

Also, I have never done any body detailing before so it okay to use DIY chrome delete kit or do it from outside? Any suggestions?

Check out Xscend Detailing in Santa Clara or MUM Sports in Fremont.

I don’t know your area but just search any Tint or wrap shop around you. Most do chrome deletes.

Do it yourself with PlastiDip. That's what I'm planning to do. Just trying to find the time.

I did my own chrome delete thanks to fellow youtuber (Tesla DIY) . I gotta say it does take time and patience to do it yourself. But if your picky or want perfect chrome delete go to a shop. But i save hundreds of $ just doing it myself

i added chrome delete with my wrap (for the 3) for $400. same shop would have charged $800 for it by itself. was going to do the same for the X for the same price but decided to try it myself with plastidip. $40 later, I'm satisfied with the results. 2 months later and only had to do a few touch ups to the left wheels after they bump against wheel guide rails in the car wash.

@forkee,

Love the color! Is that the Black Sapphire? And did you use glossifier or Metalizer or no?

Thanks! This is what I used.

Plasti Dip Rim Kit: 4 Aerosol... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073BSGFS4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Supposed to use 1 can per wheel but after 6 coats with a can and a half, I used another can and a half for two coats on the rest of the chrome. Left the 4th can for touch ups. All the trim has held up going through the automated car wash twice a week minus a few areas on the wheel.

I only tested the glossifier on the rear chrome trim that goes across the trunk. Decided not to use it on the rest as I wanted the matte look. The good thing about the black sapphire (compared to the basic black) is that it has small metalized particles so gives it a slighter upscale look)

In the end I was very impressed considering all the negative stigma surrounding plastidip.
