Hey guys I figure painting the grill black would look pretty good on my truck and I was wondering how to do it. How do I remove the plastic chrome plating from the grill without destroying the grill? what are some tips from guys who have done this/considered it?

 

I imagine the grille chrome is like the mirrors. Its plated on there. You just have to find or make a small nick and start peeling. It will take a LONG time, but just remember the paint wouldnt stick too good straight to the chrome. What color is your truck?

 

When and if you do it post pics I thought about doing that as well

 

the truck itself is dark blue, but the wheels, flatbed, and bumpers are black. I figured the less the chrome the better looking and the less I'll have to worry about spots.

 

I agree. I have dark blue over tan, and Im doing away with most chrome. The grille will probably stay, unless I get another one to play with. Ive got black mirrors, headache rack, and bumpers. Im working on black door handles right now.

 

91+ Ramchargers with the Canyon Sport package had a body color grille. I don't think they came in every color though. I've only seen white, black, red, green, and maybe dark blue.
