Recently my chrome plated plastic factory grille started to peel. At first it looked like only one or two spots, and I figured if I didn't mess with it.....
Well I was wrong. It just seemed to get worse over time. So I started to peel it back. It seemed to come off nicely, and I was thinking by day's end I would have it all cleaned off. Let's just say it didn't work that way.
I now have a half chrome, and half white/grey plastic grille. Anybody have any ideas on how to coax the reast of the plating off? Heat gun, acetone....anything?
I know I could buy a new grille, but there's nothing wrong with this one, short of the chrome. I was thinking I would paint it flat black, when I'm done.
