Here is some previous info I posted on painting chrome. I'd recommend the body shop too for the best results. Lund Hummer's body shop in Arizona do this often. (I forgot to look where you are located.)

Any body shop can prep and paint over the chrome. I had the grill, front, and rear bumpers painted on my Dakota SLT and there were no issues with them for the 4 years I had it after.

My LineX gal said in order to do my grill she would have to encase it or the stuff would not stick to plastic. Is this the case Neocon?

It's not chrome, it's plome. All they have to do is scuff it up with some 50 grit. It will stick fine.

Have her call Eric at the Rocklin shop. He'll explain it to her.

That's what they did with mine. They sprayed the backside of the grill with 1-2 coats also to ensure it wouldn't peel off.

I have an extra grille you can have for $50 plus shipping if you want it. Than you can send that in to have it done without having to remove yours and let your truck sit while driving. ...just an idea if your truck is your daily driver .

I'd like a shot at that if he doesn't want it. Where you at?

Denver. CO.

We put a black grille on the H3 and I have the chrome one in the factory box the balck one came in. The mag chloride gave this grille lots of copper marks and has some rock dings, but is perfect for getting painted or rhino lined.

Shipping to East coast was $118.67 at the cheapest and was UPS ground. If someone has their own shipping account for any carrier, I can drop it anywhere for them to make it easier/ cheaper. I want this thing out of here. It takes up waaaayyy too much room.

I got an E mail saying to try DHL too. It sound like it should be cheaper that way over UPS.

PM me whoever is interested. First PM willing to pay the shiping and $50.00 gets it.
