Painting the grill?

I'm looking to paint the chrome of my grill the same color as the badges. I just don't know how I would go about it, and how to recreate the color of the badging.


Any help?

You'll have a tough time getting the chrome finish to match. That said if anyone can help you Luftkraft can, give them a call.

Its really tough to get good adhesion on chromed plastic. you would be better off buying the black grill, then having it painted to match.
