i saw that, but i think i want to just paint them, need either a conformation from someone or an advice against it.

 

I sure there are plenty of that have , I had these https://tvdvinyldecals.com/ on until I went with Meso s Still have em on my ac vents until Meso s releases em

 

^This x10^

 

How was the TVD Vinyl install?

 

Wish he made them for a MT shift cup holder assembly.

 

The vent rings have plastic welds you have to break off unless you paint them installed. People have painted all sorts of stuff in their trucks

 

Scuff chrome with 220 sandpaper. Clean and paint. Vent chrome rings will come off. AJT has a YouTube video on removing these rings. Take your time.

 

link?

At about 4:52 into the video, he explains how to remove the chrome ring.

 

Very carefully, I ordered too sets for screw ups

 

thank you

 

After I painted mine, the fit was real tight. No need for adhesive

Looks like a clean finish.

 

Did you use a primer before and a clearcoat after? Also, how many coats did you use.

 

I lightly sanded chrome. I used three coats of paint. No primer needed. Take your time between coats of paint. No need to rush coats of paint.
I waited a full day prior to reinstalling.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the advice.

 

Got rid of some chrome, probably more on the weekend.
