I would actually recommend you have a shop paint it because mine is chipped to hell and looks awful. I would use maybe 100 grit on the chrome. I used 200, and I used 1000 between sandings. But either clear wrap it with that 3m stuff or have a shop paint it so it lasts.

hey when you painted your Roush grill, what grit paper did you use for everything? including stripping chrome paint, roughening up surface, sanding coats, etc.. my grill will be here soon and i need to know then steps necessary to do this right. also, would you recommend Krylon satin black or gloss?
thanks,

Right after you sand the hell out of the grill, hit it with promoter. Then paint, yes Krylon fushion works well.

when in the process of painting would you use the promoter?
and would you recommend Krylon? or sumthin else..

well my grill chipped, and it still is chipping, every other week I find a new chrome spot lol. I did not use any plastic adhesion promoter, make sure you do when you paint yours. Heres my thread.
