I have a 07 super crew, with chrome around the outside of the grille, and black around the grille it self. I am sure I can paint the balck plastic piece with Krylon paint, but has anyone painted the chrome part? It's plastic also, so I would guess its like painting the headlight? Sorry if I am answering my own question.

 

I have. Turned out pretty good. First I took apart the grill, then I sanded down the chrome on plastic with 600 grit sandrpaper I believe. Enough to dull the shine. Then I hung the surround and painted it with a rattle can. Used duplicolor. No an exact match, but I did not clear coat it either. Maybe I'll do that later. There are no pics of the work itself or closeups, but in my gallery there is a picture of the truck before and after.

Good luck.

 

i did the one that came on my 98. similar process as above and it came out pretty good imo. not as good as my new one that was just plastic but still worth it
