3M Gloss Black G12 Chrome Delete and Custom Vinyl Wrap Tape Stripes provide a flexible way to cover chrome trim, create custom stripes and introduce personalized accents without replacing the original vehicle components.
Chrome delete film can be used on cars, motorcycles and other suitable chrome surfaces. Because the appearance change is created with applied vinyl, the original surface remains underneath the material.
The tape is available in nearly any requested size up to 48 inches, supporting applications ranging from narrow trim pieces and custom stripes to wider accent sections.
Gloss Black combines a deep black color with a reflective gloss surface, creating a clean and polished treatment for chrome delete, custom stripes and selected vehicle accent applications.
Color personality
Deep black styling with polished reflection, strong contrast and a clean custom appearance.
Gloss Black is a natural choice for dechroming applications where a darker appearance is desired while retaining the reflective character of a gloss surface.
Film features
Vehicle wrap film designed for repositioning, air release and custom coverage
The supplied film information describes pressure-activated adhesive, non-visible air release channels and vehicle-specific dimensional stability without requiring an overlaminate.
Custom stripe sizing
Available in nearly any requested size up to 48 inches for trim, stripes, accents and wider sections.
Pressure-activated adhesive
The adhesive allows the film to slide and be repositioned before firm application pressure is applied.
Non-visible air release
Air release channels support faster installation and help reduce trapped air when the film is properly applied.
Gloss Black appearance
The gloss finish provides a deep black appearance with polished reflection for trim, stripes and accent applications.
No overlaminate required
The supplied description identifies the film as manufactured for vehicle use without requiring an additional overlaminate.

Application Guide
Chrome Delete Stripes Application Guide
1. Prepare the Surface
- Clean the Area Thoroughly: Begin by washing the chrome trim or areas where stripes will be applied. Use a mild soap or automotive-grade cleaner to remove dirt, grease, or wax buildup.
- Degrease with Isopropyl Alcohol: Once cleaned, wipe the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining residues. Allow it to dry completely for optimal adhesion.
- Inspect the Surface: Ensure the trim or body panel is smooth and free from chips or scratches, as vinyl adheres best to smooth surfaces.
2. Measure and Cut the Film
- Measure the Length of Trim or Stripe Area: Measure the trim or stripe length and cut the vinyl film slightly larger. This allows room for adjustments and precise trimming.
- Use Pre-Cut Stripes: Our pre-cut stripe kits are available for chrome deletes or custom striping, providing a hassle-free application with minimal trimming.
3. Apply the Film
- Peel the Backing and Position the Film: Peel back a small section of the vinyl backing and align it with one edge of the trim or stripe area. Start pressing down the film carefully, keeping it as straight as possible.
- Apply the Vinyl in Sections: Work slowly and in sections, peeling away the backing as you smooth the vinyl onto the surface. This helps avoid air bubbles and keeps the alignment consistent.
4. Smooth and Conform the Film (for Contoured Surfaces)
- Use a Heat Gun (Optional): For chrome delete applications on curved or contoured trim, use a heat gun on low heat to make the vinyl more pliable. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can warp or stretch the vinyl.
- Press and Conform to Shape: Gently stretch and conform the film over any curves, pressing down to adhere it smoothly.
5. Trim Excess Vinyl
- Careful Trimming: Use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess vinyl along the edges of the trim or stripe area. Avoid cutting into the paint or trim underneath.
- Seal the Edges: Run a squeegee or your finger along the edges to ensure a tight seal. This prevents peeling and helps the vinyl stay in place over time.
6. Final Inspection and Curing
- Inspect for Air Bubbles: If small bubbles appear, gently lift and reapply that section, or use a pin to pop the bubble and smooth it out.
- Allow Time to Cure: Avoid washing or exposing the stripes or chrome delete to harsh conditions for 24-48 hours, allowing the adhesive to fully bond.
Handy Tools and Supplies for Chrome Delete Applications
1. Essential Tools
- Soft Squeegee with Felt Edge: A soft squeegee ensures smooth application without scratching the vinyl, especially useful on high-gloss finishes.
- Utility Knife: Use a sharp utility knife for precise trimming of excess vinyl. Replace the blade frequently for clean, accurate cuts.
- Measuring Tape or Ruler: Measuring accurately ensures that the film is applied in a straight line, avoiding alignment issues.
2. Cleaning and Preparation Supplies
- Isopropyl Alcohol (70% or Higher): Ensures the trim or body panels are free from oils and residues for maximum adhesion.
- Lint-Free Cloths or Microfiber Towels: Ideal for wiping down the surface without leaving any fibers or dust.
- Automotive-Grade Cleaner: Use an ammonia-free cleaner specifically for automotive surfaces to remove any buildup without damaging the paint or chrome.
3. Tools for Removing Air Bubbles and Wrinkles
- Heat Gun: Helpful for conforming the vinyl on curved sections of chrome trim or for achieving a snug fit on custom stripes.
- Air Release Tool: Use a pin or air release tool for tiny bubbles that may be trapped under the vinyl. This allows for bubble-free application without visible marks.
4. Application Helpers for Complex Shapes
- Wrap Glove or Tint Glove: Protects the vinyl from fingerprints and smudges, allowing you to apply pressure with your hand without leaving marks.
5. Post-Installation Tools
- Edge Seal Tape (Optional): For chrome deletes and custom striping that may be exposed to extreme conditions, edge seal tape can reinforce edges and prevent peeling.
- Vinyl-Safe Detailer or Cleaner: Helps keep the vinyl clean and looking fresh, maintaining the finish of chrome delete stripes or custom striping.
