evildriver Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think you mistakenly put me down as 06silvarubiLGT... Better get me on the list. I have an extra grill I can send as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffer Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Hey guys just found out that the chrome is pretty easy to peal when you find its weakness. Just pull with an Xacto in the inner edge and make your way all aroundhttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/11/9b6cba87219a25282dca6e89aa9d8b24.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/11/a368e9626fdb6c3c9ab0a462dbde3471.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/11/a5014fdcd03cd962abdc545a4cee941e.jpg Edit: Ok looks like it worked well on this 2005 grill but I tried on another grill (2006) and it's not that easy. The chrome looks thinner.

Kevin622 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 im actually starting to redo mine i pulled it all apart. Primer and paint were not bonding to the chrome so i removed it like above. Going to set it back in so it has a little lip this time should be a little easier the second time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fahr_side Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Just use ferric chloride to etch the chrome off the plastic. Easy.

Kevin622 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Peeling it was very easy.. Now i just have to wait for a new crown vic grille to come in this one had so much extra from the mold it looked terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffer Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Anyone knows what happened with nospmoht04 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin622 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well I made the mistake and didn't remove the chrome and it caused the paint to crack and chip off. Also i glass beaded the whole thing to bring it down to bare plastic because whatever they coat these grills with started to lift after my father painted it. So this time around i removed the chrome and stripped the whole thing down. I also set it back a little. Now i just need to fix it in place and start the fun of sanding and some filler/bondo.

fahr_side Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What is it with you guys and peeling? Ferric chloride will remove the chrome from plastic with no effort whatsoever.
