      looks nice, i wish when i did mine i thought to take the time to add leds or projectors.

      the answer seregga, since he asked twice, i am not sure what perfect_esl did, but i just scuffed the chrome with a grey scotchbrite pad and then used a coat of etch primer for adhesion. you can not take fake chrome off plastic parts like removing real chrome off metal.

      i used 800 grit sand paper to sand it down,
      removed all chrome,

      i was trying to keep the chrome and paint a colored clear coat on it,
      but i sanded too much..
