Personally I can't stand chrome. I'm trying to get rid of all of it I can. Eventually the lights will go. The reason I'm doing a burnt copper outline on the GMC is because there's a fair amount if it throughout the truck and I'll be adding more. I shot the grille surround satin black with spray paint and will do the surrounds around the DRL's to see how it looks all together. If it looks like crap I can just sand it off easily.

If you are just testing for look, you might try plastidip. I heard it comes off much easier than sanding. Caveat: I haven't tried it myself.

I've done a fair amount of plasti dip stuff. My last BMW was completely dipped and it is good stuff. It's cheaper and easier to just shoot it with spray paint though. I got the chrome off (that SUUUUUUCKED) and it still needs to be sanded anyway. I sprayed the surround satin black and will be doing the DRL surrounds this weekend.

Got the parts test fit yesterday. They still need to be painted properly but I love the look. I did the escalade caps a few weeks ago. My new roll pan should be in next week.IMG_20181222_103535695_HDR.jpg IMG_20181222_103553198.jpg IMG_20181222_103811306.jpg

The grill itself or just the surround? I think all white may be too much white

I love white but that's even too much for me. The black gives just enough contrast
