Chrome Grille For 00-05 Lx470

[YoTa2LeX]

Hello All. This post is to confirm the rumors that there is chrome under the black paint on your grills. I was very very nervous about this but rubbed off a small corner and saw that pristine glow of chrome. I know some of you hate chrome, but I wanted the 06-08 grill without replacing and repainting the parts under the headlights.

Parts needed:

Aircraft remover

5-7 hard bristle toothbrushes

5 childrens sized toothbrushes

Painters plastic drop cloth

masking tape

towel

First lift the hood and place the drop cloth across the whole engine bay, draping over the complete front bumper (this will protect all parts from the splashing of the remover on the bristles of the brush.

Second, mask off the grill surround and drop cloth the hood

Third, put aircraft remover on the toothbrush and go to town on the grill (you cant rub hard enough).

After hours(approx 3) the grill will be all chrome. Just wipe off all the residue you can, being very careful not to get it on any other painted surface besides the grill. It will destroy ur paint in less than a minute.

If you like the chrome grill, it works great and looks great. Just take ur time. Sorry I dont have pics of the in job in progress. I was in the zone.
