No Offence taken.It is possible except you will get chipping easily.I did it because I was to cheap and lazy to buy an ST grille but its holding up well.

Yes, I'm painting my chrome grill. I'm using all dupli-color products. I didn't like all the chrome on the front of my truck, so I decided I was going to take care of itmyself. If it doesn't work, then I'm only out about $25. I hate paying people to do stuff that I think I can do.

bro i hope you sanded that **** really good.The chrome wont come off but the paint will stick on there.If it doesnt work find an ST grile and get it done.those rattle cans dont give the same result real paint shops give.

yeah, you should have painted the inserts if they were the black ones.
