Jazziz took all the black off his stock grill with acetone. Sounds like a very tedious job though.

So how exactly do you go about removing the current paint to get to the chrome? I don't want to destroy the whole grill.

I used the paint stripper from Ace Hardware and took me about 2 hours to strip all the black paint off. Just make sure you wear gloves because if you get the stuff on your skin, it will burn.
The chrome grill looks great. Definitely worth the effort.

If you do plan to strip the whole entire grill, I would suggest to leave the horizontal bars. I did mine recently but the horizontal bars looked awkward so I painted them black again.
