I have a chrome ss grill from rk sport on my hood and I think the chrome is a little to much so I was wondering if I could just get my body shop to paint it? Do you think it would look good and how do you think it would hold up?

Re: Can You Paint Chrome?

Re: Can You Paint Chrome?
i believe he wants to know if he can paint the chrome grille that came with his hood a different color like black or something.
if its off the the SS hood on rksport.com then i think that its actually stainless steel and not chrome. pretty sure if you just sanded it down, primed it, put a few coats of paint with sanding in between, and then a couple shots of clear you would be fineLast edited by Heartbeat_of_94; 08-02-2006, 02:56 AM.1994 Camaro 3.4 L V6 <br />2.5\" Flowmaster 80 Series American Thunder Exhaust<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Sony Head Unit<br />Pioneer Midranges<br />2 10\" Sony XPlod 1100 W Subs<br />Power Acoustiks 980 W Amp<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/heartbeat_of_94\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/heartbeat_of_94</a>
