Hey everyone! I just spent the better half of the day trying to get my grill chrome. I followed the DIY and had good results but I can't get it all and the thinning stuff left a film on the chrome. Does anyone know how to get all the paint off and why it left a film?
or
Where to find a cheap chrome grill?

I don't think it ate through I only let it sit for about 5-8 minutes at a time. I will have to try some goo gone. I even purchased a drummel and boy that was a waste. I don't know if I like the DIY grill strips on ebay, do they look good?

So I said F it and went down to a chrome plating shop in Denver and they are going to dip it for me. Cost $35. While I was there had them take my trunk bar for the same thing. Cost $50. I'm sure others had better luck with the DIY but I just wasted time and energy. I will pay the $35 to do something like drink on my Sundays.
Good luck
