Looks pretty good. Be careful though. I pained my chrome grill the same way you did (prep and tape) and sooner or later bugs and hwy crap will chip it. You will constantly be touching up the chrome spots.

always getting bugs and shit that will pit them. That being said I went ahead and bought a color matched grill and waiting for the paint to dry on the Toyo symbol.
