Grille Paint

I've decided I want to de-chrome my truck. I've seen a lot of guys plastidipping the grilles but that seems to be a non-permanent mod. I don't want to have to baby my grille every time I wash it. So, I'm thinking of painting the grille. But, I'm nervous about paint adhesion to the chrome. Is there a self-etching primer you guys trust on this, or am I SOL and need to properly sand the whole grille? I'd rather not go the sanding route because the '16 TRD grill is pretty detailed so it'll be a pain in the ass. Thanks!

 

I used a self etching primer on my chrome................. the paint still came off quickly, and the primer was still there like rice on white


maybe poor choice of paint?

it was duplicolor SSM

 

Interesting. Good to know.
