Well my 96 Ram 1500's chrome grill has bubbles in it, is it possible to fix this, or should I just get a new grill?

Thanks.

 

I just put a new grill on mine yesterday, looks better. I am not a fan of the factory grill style.

 

Yea, the grill is in good condition except for the bubbles and I don't want to buy a new one just yet. Thanks.

 

I see.

 

You can probably make it look a lot better than it does now. That's just a spray-on chrome finish, unless there's a way to electroplate plastic that I don't know about.

That said, not all spray chrome is created equal. I've looked into it, and the best stuff is insanely expensive and/or requires special equipment, but you can also get a can of Rustoleum chrome-colored paint for $4.99 that would probably look better than what you've got. Just sand the bubbles smooth and shoot it. (Well, or Krylon): http://www.krylon.com/products/premium_metallic/

SpectraChrome is one of the big names in chrome/gold spray equipment and finishes; check out the process here: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/segmen...ray-on-chrome/

 

I didn't know Ram's came with a "grill". Or was that an option?

Kidding aside, I'm going to sand, fill and paint mine the same color as the truck.

 

I find that the factory chrome grill on my truck is the only bling i can stand, and have not yet seen an aftermarket one that looks better then stock. I will eventually either re-chrome (mine has wrinkles) or replace with stock. Unless I don't.

 

I rough sanded mine and then rhinolined it

 

You like that stuff don't you

 

lol just a tad, i mostly like the black. i cant stand chrome. especially when people think they need to have every inch of there vehicle coverd in it
