  Good question since I need to do that for the FrankenBenz. I was planning on just taping off the chrome but I have two broken grills upon which I can experiment if anyone has a suggestion on how to R&R the chrome. 

   

  I'm going to sand the plastic, apply a Bulldog Adhesion Promoter spray, then my standard Duplicolor primer, color, and clear. Since I had the FrankenBenz painted Chrysler PS2 Bright Silver instead of Mercedes 744 Bright Silver I have color matched spray cans purchased at Pep Boys!

  Has anyone here painted their SEC grille?  If so, did you remove the chrome and how did you do it?  I got another grille and was thinking of painting it, but a cursory look didn't tell me how the chrome separates from the rest, and with the archives down, I can't search...

   

  Thanks,
