Collection: Chrome & Metallic Guitar Skins

These skins print the look of polished chrome, brushed steel, gold and tread plate onto a flat vinyl sheet, giving a guitar or bass body an industrial or mirrored finish without paint. Choose from liquid chrome waves, diamond plate textures, broken mirror shards, golden swirls and armored figures, in full-body or pickguard sizes.

Sizes, fitting and questionsShow less

Two sizes, one design

The full body sheet (50×60 cm) covers the front and sides of any guitar or bass body in one piece. The pickguard sheet (27.5×33 cm) carries the whole design scaled down, ready to cut to a Tele or a Strat pickguard.

Fitting takes an afternoon

Sand, clean, lay the skin on, warm the curves with a hairdryer and trim the routes. No spraying, no booth.

Prefer it ready-made?

Every design here also comes UV printed on a copper-shielded pickguard, or in the box with a bound TL-style kit or body: the binding makes fitting the skin easy.

Common questions

Will a printed chrome design look like real metal?

The artwork is a photographic print of metal under a high-gloss laminate, so it catches light and reads as chrome or brushed steel from a normal distance. It does not have the true mirror reflection of plated metal, so you will not see your reflection in it.

How do diamond plate patterns line up on a curved body shape?

The 50×60 cm sheet covers a whole guitar or bass body, so you can position the tread pattern straight along the neck line before trimming around the edges. Repeating patterns like diamond plate are forgiving, as small offcuts at the horns and waist still match the surrounding texture.

How should I clean a gloss metallic skin?

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth and dry it straight away; avoid solvents, abrasive polish and metal cleaners, as the surface is laminated vinyl rather than metal. No clear coat is needed on top.
