I want to black out the grill on my truck. Can you just spray the chrome or do you need to do anything else to it?

Well after you use abrasive on it it isnt chrome anymore… its scratched steel… hence you removed the chrome finish.
Take a chrome lugnut and spray some Krylon on it… then wipe it off with a paper towel. :tounge:
