re: chrome the grill
You can get anything chromed as long as you have the cash. You would have to look up shops in your area that do it and get an estimate from them.

re: chrome the grill
That was a steel grill that got chromed. I don't know if the others can be done successfully or not.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

re: chrome the grill
Once you have a grille chrome plated, is it possible to paint parts of it. Like the red stripe down a 69 and the black part of the headlight doors. If so whats the best way?

re: chrome the grill
You can definately paint on chrome if you prep it right. you have to rough up the surface so the paint will have something to bite into. You can sand it or sandblast it. Mask of the area that you don't want paint on and put down several layers. You then can rough it up with 180 grit or sandblast it. Use a good primer that has an etch to it. Then you can put your paint down.
