BLACKOUT / CHROME DELETE IN LITTLETON
Benefits of Blackout / Chrome Deletes
Littleton drivers tend to keep their vehicles a long time — and the trim treatment they choose reflects that. A 10-year-old Tahoe in Bowles, a hand-me-down sedan being prepped for a college kid heading to ACC, a luxury daily driver in Columbine that's been in the family for years, an older truck running daily routes between Highland Heights and the Chatfield boat ramp. Factory chrome on any of these vehicles either dates the look or just doesn't match what the owner wants today. A professional chrome delete handles all of it — and for Littleton's more established demographic, color-matched or sophisticated finish options often work better than aggressive matte black.
Summit Customs is a 3M Pro Shop based in Commerce City, about 35 minutes northeast of Littleton via C-470 and I-25. We offer professional blackout and chrome delete packages in Littleton using 3M cast vinyl in matte black, satin black, gloss black, body-matched colors, and over 100 specialty finishes — installed by 3M-certified installers with the precision required for clean trim work. Whether you're going for a full aggressive blackout, a subtle color-matched factory-refresh look, refreshing a hand-me-down family vehicle for the next generation, or modernizing an older luxury sedan or truck, we deliver factory-quality execution. Best of all, professional chrome delete is fully reversible — the vinyl wraps over your factory chrome without cutting, drilling, or permanent alteration, so the original trim is preserved underneath and resale value on long-tenure vehicles is fully protected.
Upgrade your vehicle’s look with a professional chrome delete, one of the most popular automotive styling upgrades for a sleek, modern appearance.

Our expert installers ensure seamless edges and a factory-like finish, whether it’s window trim, grilles, badges, or accents.

Common Questions About Blackouts / Chrome Deletes
What is a chrome delete and what does it include?
A chrome delete is the process of covering or replacing your vehicle's shiny chrome trim with a matte, satin, or gloss vinyl wrap — typically in black, but available in any color. This can include door handles, mirror caps, window trim, grille surrounds, badges, bumper accents, and any other chrome elements on your vehicle.
How long does a blackout or chrome delete take, and how does scheduling work for Littleton customers?
Most chrome deletes are completed in one day, depending on the size of the vehicle and the number of chrome pieces being wrapped. Full blackout packages that include window tint, trim wrap, and badge delete may take one to two days. For Littleton customers, our Commerce City shop is about 35 minutes northeast via C-470 and I-25. Most single-vehicle chrome delete projects can be scheduled with morning drop-off and end-of-day pickup. For color-matched custom finish work that requires material samples or larger projects spanning multiple days, we provide a specific timeline at consultation so you can plan transportation. We work by appointment to ensure your vehicle gets the full installation attention it needs.
Is a chrome delete permanent? Will it damage my vehicle?
No — chrome deletes done with high-quality vinyl wrap are completely reversible. The wrap is applied over your existing trim without any cutting or permanent alteration, so your factory chrome is preserved underneath. When removed properly, it won't leave residue or damage your paint or trim.
What's the difference between a blackout package and a chrome delete?
A chrome delete specifically targets the chrome/silver trim pieces on your vehicle. A full blackout package is more comprehensive — it typically includes the chrome delete plus blacking out other elements like the grille, headlight housings, tail lights (smoked), emblems, and sometimes window tint for a fully murdered-out look.
Can you do color-matched trim wraps instead of just blackout for Littleton vehicles?
Yes — and color-matched or custom-color trim wraps are an underused option that many Littleton customers prefer to a full blackout, especially for older established vehicles, classic cars, and luxury sedans where a sophisticated subtle finish fits the aesthetic better than aggressive matte black. 3M Wrap Film Series 2080 is available in over 100 colors and finishes, which means we can match your trim to your body paint exactly (for a "deleted" look that disappears into the bodywork), or use a complementary color (a satin gray on a metallic blue vehicle, for instance) for a subtle premium aesthetic. Common color-matched applications include window surrounds matched to body paint, mirror caps in body color or accent shades, hood and trunk accents in color-shift finishes, and chrome bumper inserts color-matched for a factory-refresh look. Color-matched trim work typically runs the same as blackout pricing ($150-$700 depending on vehicle and coverage) — the only difference is material selection. We'll show you physical 3M samples at your free consultation so you can see exactly how each color performs in different light before committing.
