He suggested that they have to sand it down, use a special primer and use a paint specifically designed to bond to chrome. And what's more, he guarantees his work. I should be picking up mine in a couple of days...I'll be sure to post pics! I found another company willing to refinish the grills with carbon fiber for $650!
Ok, sounds good. Cant wait to see how yours looks and deffenetly post pics
