To be fair, it works.... however, there will be a fine fine strip of chrome at the edges.
Since they technically have to cut around the trim.
If you're struggling to much, why don't you plasti dip it matte black --- then hit it with a gloss?

Thought there was chrome delete vinyl. So why these shop saying won't stick. I'm looking into this cause plannin to chrome delete myself. I will do at home. It's easy as hell. Shops charging 200-300$ is ridiculous for a 30$ product. What is a good vinyl for my chrome delete? Any recommendations

If you're looking for materials, I can supply you with the materials needed for you to DIY your own window trim.

You should definitely be able to wrap your chrome window trims...

I've had a shop do mine awhile back already. Has stayed on perfectly fine for 6+ months.
