blazin_lex Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Well i was lookin on the forum, and found that i could chrome my own grill... so i did! it's blazin! i was thinkin of puttin a new grill on it, maybe a rod millen, but i dunno now, the chrome is very hott!!
SpeedyGs Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Thats sound pretty good but how you did it??? Those things from ebay chrome???Let me know how you chromed it????I was think the same way but cant find the way of chroming myself. If you can post up the picture. :o Thank
blazin_lex Posted November 26, 2003 Author Posted November 26, 2003 i used paint remover and paint thinner to remove the paint on the grill. the factor grill is chrome underneath, so i removed the outer layer of paint, and low and behold!, a chrome grill!!!!!i'll post pics soon!
GSlover Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 did you have to scrub at all?? or just let it soak?? I'm looking foward to those pics :whistles:
bluelex Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 thats is funny, i just did chromed the grill on my blk gs4 today, but i didn't chrome it all the way just the front edgeds of the bars...pretty easy i used laquar thinner and scrubed with a brillo pad 2 take it off .....looks reall good nice difference... did u chrome the whole thing or just the front part? i'll have pics soon of my job as well..
kandygs400 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 hahaha...someones discovered the DIY chrome grill...ive done it looks great...but paint thinner...is kinda dangerous to use...the grill is plastic so it might eat up the plastic...what i did was use SOS pads...and a dremel on low speed with a polishing pad...worked like a charm here are some pics email me if yall need more [email protected]
blazin_lex Posted December 2, 2003 Author Posted December 2, 2003 yeah there was a little scrubbing involved, you can use a brillo pad, i used, paint remover, let it soak, and used a wash cloth! umm...few other, rough but not so rough pads may work also. i chrome the inside about half way, gotta get other half done. Hardly noticeable tho!
suplanta Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 you're a genius blaze, i push a 93 GS300 once i get time i'm going to do it to, appreciate it .......keep it up :D
