Default Painting chrome grille trim?
Has anybody <b>painted</b> the chrome grille trim? I imagine it might chip if just painted... anybody have any ideas for getting a good coat that won't chip, on top of the chrome? TIA...

Zinc chromate primer, then paint.

what color you planning to paint? Just the rim or the logo as well?

Just the trim piece, not the rings... either black or body color. (Haven't decided yet.)

Default Plate it!
If you want it black, why not have it plated with "Black Chrome" plating? It will look good, and be quite durable.

Anyone ever convert the "bright" trim on the front grille to the "gunmetal" trim color?
