dude this looks good. How exactly is the best way to go about doing this. because I really want to get rid of my chrome on the grill and paint it black but i have had some friends in the past do it to some of their chrome plastic parts and the paint peels right off. That would be cool if I could get some suggestions.

thanks. i've only had it for a week but it seems to be holding up fine. no peeling yet.

i used a a spray gun hooked up to my air compressor and automotive primer and paint. i think that will be stronger than spray paint but jkeaton uses spray paint for his grilles and it looks great. i dont think he has had any peeling either.

Here's where I get mine from. Excellent paint. I have had no issues with it. Make sure you get the clear coat. This stuff is real autmotiver paint and it needs the clear coat to shine.

I have painted my splash guards, hood scoop, headlights and drill surround and the paint has held up marvelously.
