    I have a center grille that is chrome. I am looking to put a grill craft insert in it, but first was wondering if I would be able to have that chrome painted or if I need to purchase an entire new center section. Thanks!

    A bit of sanding and some spray paint you can paint it. A bit of cash and a day or two and you can have it painted.

    Thanks, definitely going to go the professional route but just wanted to make sure it could be done before I go to a painter.

    You might pay a few bucks extra cause it might take some more work than normal to get the finish prepped for paint...but that's about it.
    Can't wait to see the results!!
