I also found that using some "meanie greenie's" helped. You know the green scrub pad that you use to clean really grimy pots and pans or to scrub the ceramic in your bathroom. That helped alot. It didn't scratch the chrome underneath the paint at all. Cut the time in half.

Don't do the whole thing. Just the front is enough bling. Believe me.

im thinkin its better to spend 30 minutes to uncover the true chrome on the grill.......rather then sticking chrome stickers on each slate to create a chrome grill effect (which is what i think the kit is). It's chrome vs sticker. =D

can of graffitti remover from home depot and i was pretty much done within 30 mins.
oh and don't get tis stuff on your skin ..it will burn, so if you do just rinse with water right away.
