Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Generic How To ..... how to Chrome the grill?

At super sommers I was told that if I use acetone and steel wool I can rub off the paint and find that is chome under the ugly grayish paint,i try it but all I found was more like a beige type looking plastic.now my grill looks worse how do I fix it?

There is companies that can spray paint chrome. They use the same stuff for car headlights etc, so its pretty shiny and long lasting.

I am sure there is companies somewhere close to you, I only know shops here Link to Finn, sorry about language, pics are in english http://www.hautakoski.fi/palvelut/kromimaalaus

Do not spraypaint some cheap stuff from local parts store... Find a good place... Pro stuff can also be found for sale if you want to try it home.

I do not know who does this in your area, or mine for that fact, but this is what he is talking about. . .

I found this after a bit of a search, they have a 800 number, call them for who is in your area

thanks guys I looked into it and even called one placed and left a message,but to do it myself? no way the equipment runs in the thousands....

There is no way to do it yourself. . . chroming takes lots of money to do, either the old TANK route, or the newer spray route, just too expensive for a hobbyist to afford.

I have heard of SOME grills having chrome under the paint, but never seen it. So now you are left with two options.

1) take it to a chromer and have it stripped and chromed
or
2) strip it yourself and paint it.

Sorry, only two ways I see for you to go, maybe someone knows of a third route for ERIC43 to go ?

I'm gona try this when I'm ready.
