Photo Request... Painted Grills

[MNKMcNeilly]

I am torn between painting my grill or leaving it chrome. I will be stripping all of the chrome from the body and hood, and shaving the handles, and I am concerned that all the chrome in the front will be over powering. Here is what I am working with and the second picture is of a painted grill. Do you have one?

What color are you painting it? Is there going to be any other chrome on the car? I would say paint ti it looks sleek that way but thats my 2 pennies!

Yeah, what he said... I like the "painted" out look.
Not a "Rat" but here's a Maverick I did and de-chromed. Left a little for effect.

LEAVE IT CHROME! The right amount of chrome sets a car off nicely and highlights detail areas like the grille. Otherwise it just looks like a big painted blob, such as the Chevy you posted...

My grill & bumpers are painted....but, I DO want to replace with chrome at some point!

How about you leave it until you have finished the other chrome removal and make your decision then. If you need to visualize it painted, get some latex house paint the color you want and paint over the chrome with that. The latex will wipe right off.

Here's a little paint work.... Painted grill....headlights....parking lights....bumper and license plate. It was my brother in laws drag car and it was a one piece fiberglass front end. I had to add the details to make it look more realistic
