how to get rid of chrome ??
Had a 99 runner all black no chrome, just got an 02 its like that desert pearl/gold color with chrome grill insert and chrome bumpers. How are you guys color matching, paint shop or getting stuff from stealership. Im not even going to attempt it myself, I just hate chrome. Im very anti-bling.

On the show "build or bust" Exile cycles hates chrome as well so they take perfectly good chrome parts and scuff them with a scotchbrite pads and
WD40.
It create a cool flat aluminum look.

Dupli-color recommends their adhesion promoter after you scuff the chrome .
Then you paint over the chrome with a primer coat ,then paint. Kenny S>

I painted f/r bumpers and grill black.
Sand, clean with acetone, used rustoleum primer (2 coats). Dry, 2-3 light coats of semi-gloss black... came out looking great. I'd add some extra clear coats though if I did it again though.
