I got a little issue with my chrome grill. The chrome is bubbling in two spots on the top. One is pretty big the other is a simple line. Here is a pic.

I want to know what my options are for repairing or refurbishing and cost. Any ideas? I thought of just painting it black, but know that includes sanding off the chrome which is more than I think I want to take on right now.
