Has anyone tried this?
Search some threads and found some info but with plastic dip.
I want to achieve that black chromium look on the front grill, if its possible?

 

Idk but I like the idea, keep us posted!

 

I think I've found the stuff to "tone down" the chrome bug guard, along w/the horse collar and cross.
Its a two part system and stays reflective like black chrome. I guess I'll be the Guinea pig.LOL
I'm actually gonna try it on the truck next when I get more time.

 

I'm definitely interested in how that turns out. Post up lots of pics when you do it!

 

Please post pics before during and after PLEASE!

 

I'm thirding that pics request! This could be something really worthwhile!

 

I just tried it on some old exhaust tips i had lying around. Keep in mind the sun is not out so that may affect how it looks. But it looked like i just painted them black.There was no chrome showing through.

 

This chrome of mine is too shiny...But you can't rub it up w/scotch bright or anything, you want the chrome to still shine through, Clean and lightly shoot ,3 coats max and at least that many w/the clear coat check out the pic of Chrome it tested on above...still reflective.
Duplicolor metalcast smoke is another option I might consider, it has a higher temp rating but considering I'm pushing a moving wall down the interstate 4 days a week its got to stand up. That's why I like the Clear coat option for protection.

I'm gonna go about this systematically:

Badges first;
If they pass the test - Chrome bug guard next;
then the grill....
But...only if the bug guard survives the cross state trek over Easter W/E.

I'll keep ya posted w/ pics after this coming W/E.
