Default another DIY chrome grill

I attempted the chrome grill project with some paint stripper I had laying around, it worked pretty good, I ordered my TTE grill already so I didnt exactly take my precious time but all in all it turned out pretty good.Thanks for the tips.

Looks great! I have seen a few of these done, but I am curious about something. If you have gold emblems is it gold chrome underneath of the painted grill, and vise versa if you have reg. chrome??? I have reg. chrome (silver), and this looks good, but I don't want a gold grill afterwards

dont quote me on this but i highly doubt that with gold emblems that there is a gold grill underneath, this would require the grill being gold plated then being painted over, so I doubt that they would do that, if there is some rock chips on the grill you can look and see what is underneath
