Nobody will paint my kidney grills black!
Yes I know I can simply go to any auto parts store and pick up gloss black paint and do it myself. However I want to paint the grills the same as the body color - jet black and I want to do it right! I checked with three body shops and nobody will paint the grills because of the chrome surround which is difficult to paint. Is there any paint thinner type substance I can use to peel off the chrome, or is it solid plastic chrome? Any pointers from people that have done it??
