    I need to remove all the chrome (de-chrome) from several parts of my CM, i.e., door handles and some other small parts. What's the best DIY way to get it done?

    Not sure what you mean by de-chrome, but you can plastidip them, paint them, vinyl wrap them or replace them with paint-matched versions, if available.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I meant that I want to remove the chrome from the parts. Then, paint them. I tried doing so with my hood bulge once, but it didn't last long before it started peeling.

    Maybe @Roman parts guy can get you color matched parts you need??? Handles n mirror covers, for front n rear bumpers you can vinyl cover em, or powdered coated or plastiDip, badges some members on here like the clean look and fully take off, some plastidip em, some buy the covers that go over, or buy the blackout set
