Went home and removed the grill. Used the brush and I only applied it only on the front of the teh grill. I waited probably 10 min, and you can see the paint coming off. I used a paper towel to remove the paint. Washed the grill with soap and water, and viola. Bling Bling, nice gromed grill. Put it back on. I keep getting compliments from this mod. Cost $7, satisfaction, priceless

i'm a novice to do-it-yourself modifications, and am highly interested in chroming my existing gs300 grill asap. i've read the instructions for using the various gel paint removers noted here, and feel comfortable about doing it myself, but can either of you instruct me on how to properly remove my grill and reinstall it once i'm done?
(i'm also a novice to this site, so apologies if this question has been asked and answered in a previous thread.)
thanks,

Wow. What an old thread. Anyway, try looking here for some info about removing the grille.
Grill Removal
The DIY is easy so no need to get a grille from that site. Just look at the FAQ for grille removal. Pretty straightforward actually.
Good luck.

The previous post inspired me to make the most of the first decent day in NJ and strip the grill. Went to home depot bought the same stuff as the above post and within 15 minutes it was stripped.
The results are unbelievable...check it out for yourself

Mumbles,
I have a 1990 Ls400 and I was wondering if you would know if the grill on my LS is like your GS grill with being all chrome and just painted in the insert? I would like to make my grill all chrome also.
