LB7: What to do about peeling Chrome

[MAXX IT OUT]

I was pressure washing my truck and blew off some of the chrome from the center grill bar. I have been thinking about painting it black, but then I have the chrome on the bumper I would have match and I would like some chrome to break up the red and black. Any suggestion on what to do???

I painted my center bar a satin black color. Bumper is still chrome, wheels are chrome. Still looks good. It is dark right now, but maybe I can take a picture of it tomorrow. I think it looks pretty good.

PLASTI DIP! rubberized coating that works amazing, doesn't come off in a car wash but you can peel it off if you don't like at any time. my grill bar and mirror covers are all done, i8ts been holding on a year and no damage to it.

I plastidipped mine. A cheap solution. Not everyone liked how I did mine but it will hold me over till I get a nicer one.

I just plasti-dip'd my wheels... fugging awesome stuff. and it's cheap. Also if you don't like it... it'll peal right off, no residue no tool required. Strong enough though to stand up to pressure washing and normal abuse.

PS DBush the grill looks nice. I think it's a nice contrast to the rest of the truck.

Chrome sucks, paint it black

If there is a sign shop around your area you can always get them to wrap it for cheap. If you don't like it just peel it off.

Thanks for the compliment! It's still holding up pretty well too. A few chips here and there but that's to be expected being that its on the front of a vehicle.

Plastidip has a smile color im thinking about using on my chrome

they also have a glossifier now so you can get gloss finishes if you don't like the flat/satin look.

Hopefully I will be finished with it to night. I am doing the all the chrome black.

Looks good! Was thinking about doing my bumper chrome and my wheels too. We will see how much I feeling like doing

I did the same thing to my chrome and painted my grille black. I also think it looks good, see my garage for pictures.
