So Ive got left over plasti dip and krylon fusion paint, and was wondering which one I should use to paint my chrome grill......Also should I sand it down a bit before I do it? Thanks for the help

Paint will last longer, but plastidip looks better IMO. It's a Matte black, and if you don't like it you can just peel it off.
