Like the title said, there's no real tutorial for this classic mod. I am in no way shape or form responsible for any loss or damages covered in this tutorial. What I included in the pics are for the mod itself, not the painting or installing the mesh. but what you need not covered in the tutorial are:
PAIR of GLOVES
GOGGLES
MOUTH MASK
Grille mesh (or chicken wire depending on your current budget)
Wire cutter
400 - 800 grit sandpaper(s)
Dremel drill bit accessory
Small wood screws ( 8 )
Primer
Base paint
Clear coat
Those pics are from TGC members
Enjoy! :D

What do you guys use to take the chrome off?
pictures installed?
Need to sand down the chrome so I can paint it, but hand sanding is taking forever, and even with a dremel it is. I need like an air powered sander, like a compressor. And I couldn't find decent looking mesh, only at lowe's, but it was like a 2 foot by 2 foot sheet O.O
You dont need to completely strip the chrome, just sand enough to where the smooth finish is gone, then primer and paint. It'll take you forever to strip that chrome completely and get down to the base...

So I've noticed XD
Alright, I'll just rough it up a bit.
LOL, to get the finish off use like an 60-80 grit then gradually work your way up to 400-800 grit sandpaper, like 100, 200, 300, then 400 grit. Otherwise you will still see all the little grooves after you paint it.

I kept the chrome on mine!? but I think it looks good!
I did this mod to my grille years ago, nice results.
I kept the Chrome on my grille as well, I like it as well. It matches nicely with my other chrome accents. Every1 else likes to paint theres.

Exactly my thoughts! Thanks I agree at least on silver or white the chrome accents look good!!
Yup, but you should paint your radiator support that shows behind your grille black now. It'll look alot better. Just remove your grille and your heads and mask off your bumper. Then hit it with some black paint out of a rattle can. You'll be satisfied with the results.
