Default Chrome Grill - Wadda U Think?

I spent all damn day yesterday working on this. A few teenie little touchups to do when I wash it today. I ran out of sunlight last night, so no good pix of it on the truck yet.

But I chromed my entire grill... or rather... de-blacked it. Turns out all of the black was paint over the chrome!!! A few hours with a toothbrush, goof-off, and about 400 paper towels, and I now have a totally chrome grill. I love it. What do you guys thing? I'll probably get a better pic today if it stops raining.

Here it is in the rain in daylight for the link-clickitty-lazy.


Thanks guys. I like it. KLS, swing down or take a really good pic of your grill and I'll see what I can find out. Goof-Off worked perfectly, just took FOREVER on the turn signals (they were about 20 layers thick!!!)

KLS, it won't work on your grill. I checked. It's not chrome underneath. That was 95-96 only. Sorry
