Hi Guys, I could've swore there was a body/exterior section somewhere on the forum, but be damned if I can find it now!
My question is about the chrome grille surround on the '86 grille; it appears to be molded directly to the black finned section. Mine has some bubbling going on under the chrome and is one of the visual annoyances I want to resolve. Is it possible to remove just the chrome section? I'd like to bead-blast it and either re-chrome it or have it powder-coated black...but it doesn't appear to be a separate piece, and may even just be plated plastic.
Aside from replacing that with a very pricey new grille, what have you guys done to spiff up your grilles?
