Before I start, the section I am thinking of colour coding is the black 'grill' like section which runs along the front of the car at the bottom where the fog lights go. I was just wondering whether anyone had ever painted that chrome and what it might look like? Or would it be better to just colour code it? Or could it even be removed and replaced by mesh?

Thanks,

Matt

not to sure if all chrome would look that good when i try to visualize it all i can see is like chunks of chrome along your front bumper

i sprayed mine black as it was starting to fade, would never go with a light colour, too many chunks missing off mine

Perhaps someone will have the time to photoshop it black and then chrome for you to see before you do it?!?:)

Do you have a clear front shot? or will this do guys??? (first post, thumbnail)

chrome will pick up all the bugs and chips etc, i say leave it black, its so far down ppl probably wouldnt notice its chrome, specially as ur bumper has a lip over the top of it

Hmm maybe your right. So not even meshing it? that might look a bit out of place though... with the rest of te car.

If someone could that would be awesome... I'll post up a better front on pic soon.

maybe you could mask up the top edges of the grilles and only paint them chrome. that way you will just have horizontal chrome strips on a black background. just a thought.

Hey good job. Looks interesting... kinda iffy about whether or not to do it though.

This is what ive done to my car some time ago.. i colour coded the whole thing at the front.. something different as well as my after market lights :)
