good thought. if it's heavy chromed steel or a factory truck style aluminum grille it would be two different processes.

On the chrome steel, you could sand in one direction to get the brushed look and then clear over it...maybe using a slightly tinted clear to achieve the nickel look...

On the grille, you would have to first strip the anodized coating off and then you could sand and clear it...

and if chromed plastic, you wouldn't want to sand it at all....maybe brush on a finish in that case...I saw chip foose make a "brushed" look paint stripe on one of his overhaulin cars by sanding down the paint before clearing it....
