HI guys

Picked up a grill and the outer grill for my Regal...however I would like to rechrome it... is there any good spray that would look good?

spray chrome looks like sh*t

I have to agree as well.. :| Only way i see to get one to look factory would be to rechrome it and it's pretty expensive. I was looking to get my Grand Prix's redone and I"ve have been calling around and getting quotes around $300-500.00 range....and that was just for the upper grille! Look for some N.O.S. if you can maybe worth the money to buy them..
 
Re-chroming with a spray can is not worth the effort. It might look OK at first, but won't last and you won't be happy with the result. It's expensive to get a professional re-chroming job, but well worth the money. There are no NOS G-body GP chrome pieces available (that I could find). What I've done is save up and get a few parts done at a time. I'm really happy with the results.

For what it's worth...

Spray is horrible looking...

NOS parts are $$$

Junkyard finds can be tough...

Rechrome can be $$$, but if you do decide to go the rechrome route, I know of a couple GOOD shops in the Cali area who are good business...
