I heard that there is chrome inside my 2002 LX grille
is it easy to take off the paint?


this one guy claims this is the result of taking off the paint

I might have to try that since mine is chipping.

What brand of paint remover did you use? Any other tips would be useful.

citristripper from home depot. I tried it once many months ago on a trash grille from a body shop. Worked but i used something too harsh to scrape it. Aedgington used a razor blade.

I guess ill finally pull the trigger on doing it to my actual grille. Aedgington, im not copying you i tried it a long time ago just never did it to my real grille as i was too lazy to take it off, lol.

ALSO, TAKE THE GRILLE OFF YOUR VEHICLE! DO NOT DO THIS MODIFICATION WHILE THE GRILLE IS ON YOUR VEHICLE AS YOU MAY RUIN YOUR PAINT ON THE HOOD/BUMPER!!!!!!
