I'm ready to ditch my emblems - let me know if you want to trade for my standard grill with logo - I think we have the same color car - I call it seal grey, as I don't know the official color

did you atleast remove most of the chrome?? man i used regular duplicolor with clearcoat and its fine, no peeling so far and i doubt it will peel, i removed the chrome bc i think paint on top of chrome will not stick for long

I used aircraft paint remover and then sanded the grill with 400 and sprayed 2 coats.

Did you sand the grill really well first?

to paint a grill so it will not chip you got to sand it down to remove the chrome, so theres no way to remove the black once its painted
