Hey guys, in the summer I plastidipped my grill black but have been contemplating going back to chrome. When I had the chrome grill I didn’t have the black headlights or fender flares so on the fence how the chrome would look with those. Let me know your thoughts! eb91da94b1f4092ef9fee3cb0424dd78.jpg

I would black out the chrome bumpers and your wheels, then get a fishiing line behind the badges and take the side badges off. Clean it up with goo gone, and it would like clean. I like the blacked out look.

This is a 5min photoshop. Around here on Craigslist and Facebook market grilles run about $200. Just get a second one and when you get a wild hair you can swap them out in 15 min.

Black out the bumper and the wheels. Looks odd done half way.

Problem with painting bumper is the rock chips that will start to show chrome. What about body color match the grill? Still get chips maybe, but less likely and noticeable with less surface area. Good luck.
