yea when i was at mine they had oxford, and what i plan on doing to mine (this is through alota research online)

(this is what i had saved to a word doc)

-Wetsand chrome with 220+
-Apply coat of adhesion promoter
-apply several very light coats of L2 True Blue NGFM358 T298
-wetsanding with 1000-2000grit inbetween (allow 30 minits between coats)
-apply light clear coat
-wetsand 2000 grit
-apply clear coat
-dry





black-white (non chrome grille surround)
“get some 1000 grit sand paper and wetsand it down until its really scratched up. dry it off, then shoot with a coat of filler primer. AutoZone or whatever will have Duplicolor YZ- Oxford White in the little cans. Get two, and another two of clear coat. Spray one coat, let dry for 30 mins, then another. wet sand with 1500 grit. apply a THICK coat (without running) of clear, wetsand lightly with 1500, and then a final thick coat of clear. good to go!”

sr member about chrome grille surround
“Most important thing to do is take your time and do not get in a hurry. After you scuff the plastic chrome really good use adheasion promoter and then apply several light coats of paint with at least 10-15 minutes between coats. When I say light I mean the first coat should not entirely cover up the chrome. Let it dry overnight. I would wetsand it lightly before you clear it. If you want to wetsand clear and apply another coat that is good too. Same steps with the clear several light coats. It really isn't hard it just takes time. Good luck!”
