Re: chrome paint!!
IMO, chroming the whole grille on these trucks would be a bit much. hey're still too new to be classics and come form the days when chrome was king.
I think that the factory boys got it right with the trim around the grille and a LITTLE in the center part.

Re: chrome paint!!
Results may vary..............
A friend of mine is a former manager of a large dealership's collision center and he now owns his own high end shop. His builds have been featured in national publications. Having said that........Ed tried some of the chrome paint processes, in the end they never look like real chrome. Every part of the process must be perfect, zero room for error. Cost of the product? If you have to ask......... The process you posted looks like a new and different version so who knows, it might be a good one.
