Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Use acrylic flat black and paint the entire grill. Let it dry. The go over it w/ a damp cloth that won't shead any lint or paper (paper towel) Gradually wipe across the raised surface until the chrome has been cleared of all paint. Then take a soft towel again nothing that will shed lint and lightly polish. Don't use any polish just the clean dry towel. Take your time get it done right the first time. If you have a "junk" grill practice on that until you have the hang of it then do the go ahead and detail the Reos' grill. Good Luck!!!
