Default Re: paint the chrome.. ??

I bought an extra used grille, took it to a local shop and they preped and painted it color matched. Paid a couple hundred for it, but it looks great and no chips or issues in over a year now.

I've used the "Truck Bed Liner" on stuff and it's held up pretty well.

I've also used Line-X on a grill and it was awesome.

It will NOT melt the rigid plastic parts like the grill, etc.

I used dupli-color bed liner and it is holding up great after two months of winter driving. No chips so far. Just prepped it with a scuff pad, washed it, dried and painted.

Used regular rust-oleum spray on the chrome like on plastic GM product. Works great except the nos els clogs even when turning upside down and clearing like the directions explain...
Must be good for their product sales
