Wanna paint my grill how did y'all paint them right now I'm tring to sand off the chrome and it is takeing forever

 

Scuff the chrome, hit it with self-etching primer, sandable primer, base coat, paint and clear coat. I have pained several chrome bumpers and grilles and the self-etching primer hasn't failed me yet.

Sweet I'll give it a shot

 

same here, I used 1500 grit sandpaper then wiped it all down with turpentine then washed it with dish soap. used self etching primer (2 coats) automotive paint (3 coats) and clear coat (2 coats). Has held up marvelously. The only thing I did wrong was not be patient enough and let the paint completely dry before doing a second coat.....

 

I found my painted black grille from Mopar brand new on eBay for $92 shipped .... I cant screw it up when I dont have to take anything but a rag to polish it up.

 

Blown's steps are pretty spot on... You need to make the chrome look like dull aluminum. No shiny spots remaining. I will be doing a write up on spraying the chrome black in a couple weeks when the weather warms up a bit.

 

I plan on doing this sometime soon to, don't forget the pics.

While were on the paint subject does anyone have any tips on painting an ST unpainted front bumper?

 

I am painting my front bumper, grill, and rear bumper black, its kinda the same steps.
Plastic adhesion primmer (2 coats first coat should be light - follow sanding instructions)
High build primmer (2-3 coats first coat should be light - follow sanding instructions)
Base color (2-3 coats first coat should be light - follow sanding instructions)
Clear coat (2-3 coats first coat should be light - follow sanding instructions)
Wet sand after clear is dry with 600, 1000, 1500, then 2000. Then buff to a high shine.

 

NOOOO!!!! Don't do it, don't give up the chrome...

 

I said screw it cause I had started to take the chrome off and it just looked like crap so I ordered an all black one.
