DIY grill
After i detailed my baby... i was feelin good so i decided to do the ol' grill chroming
- Took the grill off
- Towel in hand
- Acetone dabbed on towel

Does this sound backwards to anyone else? Or do you mean you have 4 lines of chrome showing? Just trying to make sure he is getting what he is looking for. Because if the grill is already black then he should have four lines of chrome showing( not missing). And if he is already chrome then no amount of taking a knife to the grill will bring the chrome back. Does my line of reasoning make sense to anyone else?
