i sand mo muna yung chrome, tapos put putty, tapos paint over it. siguro two coats of black plus one clear coat will do.

what part of the car?

pag chrome trimmings sa windows dont try na,
it will chip off agad.

pag yung mga iba,better sand it off with a good 600 grit,then
sand it again with 1000 na mabilis lang.

then prime it,then sand with 1000 just to remove the orange peel,
then paint it na with black.


dont put body filler/putty or it will get off agad dun sa surface since
we want it just black it,baka makitid yung surface it will result
to chipoffs.

this is the correct process. just remember to also clean the piece thoroughly with painter's solvent (lacquer thinner can work) in between sanding steps.

grills are notoriously difficult to paint because you have to sand every part of the piece, and there are many places that are hard to get to. but if you don't scuff up every inch, the paint won't adhere properly and it will eventually peel off.

id rather not paint it.


rock debris or even a fingernail will chip it,id bet even with primer.


there's an easier and much OEM look for you to get that black trim,


tried and tested for euro/usdm peeps who dull their chrome trimmings
with these black linings.

its a sticker that looks like an electric tape,
its flat black already and it will last long.


mine is 5years and going pa rin,ulan araw init pressure washer and
a lot cheaper to make IMO.

here's the pic.
