i also plasti dipped my entire chrome grille. it still looks really good and im not planning on removing it, im just going to get a new grille eventually. another member on here or maybe a diff forum made a thread about how much of a PITA it was for him to get it off his rim's. i told him he didnt use enough coats because it should come off easy. a few weeks later i went to remove it from my emblems, i was like WTF!?

Same here.

Doesnt look bad but I would have left it alone and had a shop spray in with Matte black paint. Although im more of a fan of gloss, much much easier to get clean
