yes, use a chrome wheel polish, works amazing (did this on my other car's grill).

I've thought about the midnight grill many time....
I just can't get past the upper & lower chrome pieces.

It was some off the shelf textured, grey black speckled paint for plastic. I have since gone back to put my OEM chrome fuji on and this one is in the box with the OE grill. I can dig up the can and snap you a pic, if you want to get the same stuff.

Thanks.
I'm just looking at different ideas right now.
I'm leaning towards black chrome at the moment.
