Yea, First I removed all the chrome stripping and emblem that are held on by tiny phillips screws. I sanded the surface I wanted painted with 320,400, and 800. Sprayed three LIGHT coats of gloss black and then finished it off with 2 coats of clear coat.

I'm actually going the opposite route - my car's in the bodyshop right now and one of the things I'm having them do is paintmatch the top and bottom chrome pieces CGP, while leaving the A and the "wing" in the center chrome.
I saw one other member do this a while ago, and I think it looked hot. Can't wait to get my car back!

I've thought about doing this too, just hoping that the paint will hold since I'm mostly a freeway driver.

2006 Tsx
Just picked up a 2006 TSX this weekend. I hate the chrome on the front grill. Since the car is Nighthawk Black, I want to paint the front grill flat black with a red emblem.
Comments?
What's involved in pulling the grill to paint?
Piece by strip, all the faux-chrome will disappear!
