I need the paint code for black chrome...anyone?
 

I'm repainting my front grill to black chrome and need sum help in finding out what the color code is to do this...can anyone help me with this? :confused2: I just need it to match my new wheels...currently the grill is in gloss black..

Black chrome is a plating process not just paint. I'm sure there are ways you can paint the grill to look like black chrome, but I'm sure it's like a three step process.

you can try and use the Niteshade paint (it's the paint that used in tinting the taillight), i've seen people use it on their chrome emblem to turn it into black chrome, looked legit.

I'm suppose to have a body shop do it for me..that's why they asked wat the paint code was...wat can i tell them? do u guys think they can just paint over the current black that i have on it now with a silvery, chrome finish?

get a stock grille with stock finish and "smoke" it..

i'm trying to keep my Embless grill so i wouldn't have to go that route...it would've been easier probably to just trade my grill for sumone else who has a stock grill but i don't want the emblem in the middle..that's why i'm asking..

Does Alsacorp.com not make a black chrome paint?

Yes they do. Just found it. GL.

emblemless black chrome grill was my idea! ;-P

Green color based BLACK paint on a high pressure gun..

Do not sand original chrome surface just clean VERY well..

Do not clear

Finish with 3M cutting compound.

Keep waxed

= closest you'll get to black chrome with paint


Result: PM deepdiver..

Alsa's black chrome is good stuff . Iv used it before . Only thing is that its a completely different painting process that body shops are not going to know so they may not want to even attempt it . Other than that the only way to get black chrome is to start off with chrome and use a candy(translucent) black over it .

ask dave.. he got his rims in black chrome i think..

^this.
