    I got really bored this past sunday, so i decided to paint the chrome grill, it was just too much chrome, this ain't no Escalade.

    I think on Sunday paintshops are closed in the US too.

    Thanks everyone, I sprayed it myself, sanded the chrome with 330 grit then 2000 grit to smooth it out, sprayed on 3 layers of base coat (T70-Electric Blue Pearl) then sprayed on 3 coats of clear. I got the paint from automotivetouchup.com, the 12oz. basecoat spray can ($19.95).
