What is best way to black out chrome

[custom99]

What is the best way to black out the chrome strips along the sides, the bumpers, and the grill? I tried to paint the grill years ago on a 95 suburban and the paint crazed on me. I used steel wool on it to scuff it up and wiped it down with thinner. I dont want it to happen to this one. I want to debadge and black it out.

you will need to sand with 320, prime with self etching primer and sand again with 320 ten prime with reg. primer and sand with 400 then paint

+1.. I would add a couple clear coats as well.

ok...since we are talking about the moldings...i have a big question...

when washing mine today it dawned on me ours are different than our neighbors. i think they have an 03 or 04? yukon XL...anyway, our molding is just like yours, on the front and rear doors only....theirs are like this...

on the doors, as well as the quarter panel in frt of and behind the rear wheel arch...

i know im a noob to this forum and this truck but what years or packages were these part of? just wondering....

What do you guys things about the Duplicolor shadow on those moldings. I am thinking it will look great on my grill, front and rear bumper, side moldings and any other piece of chrome that is on my vehicle.

for the moldings, i would just take them off like im going to do with my chrome ones. cause i plan on blacking out my Gray Metallic yukon this summer.
