Any of you guys tried a chrome spray yourself on any of the plastic H3 parts like that hood grill? cons, pros? I'm not experienced in those kinds of things just wondering whether to experiment or not... how does plastic hold the chrome paint?

Great I always prefer functional things. In this case it can be a function hood vent or an electric grill.

Looks like the H1 and H2.

Don't paint the stock softer plastic pieces. They'll bend and cause cracking. Not to mention the paint really won't adhere properly and start to peal.

That's fine, but they're not Rattle Canned Chrome.

If you are going to use a spray on anything you may get better results from spray on mud.
