I hear you on the money thing. We owe Kliff alot of money and if he craps the bed again this year we will have to let him go. theres goes a cool $15 million on the remainder of his contract.
I imagine the chrome would sand off, but I can't swear to it. I'd try to sand/media blast it clean if I were doing it.

I saved this thread in case I decided to paint over the chrome on my truck... speeddemon0712 made a how to using his chrome door handles, the chrome grille should use the same process though - https://www.f150forum.com/f118/how-p...andles-381494/

Yep, much cleaner without.

Not to worry. I did not paint the chrome since I actually bought a different grill. I vinyl wrapped the bumpers to get rid of the chrome.
