'00 3500 Grille Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mjensen · 03-08-2009, 10:52 PM

My 2000 Chevrolet 1 ton has a grille on it that has seen better days. It's the standard issue composite chrome. Can these be refinished? I do still want it to be chrome, but I'm not sure if it's better to save my pennies for a new one, or have this one redone.

TIA

you can't really re-chrome a plastic grille. It would need to be totally stripped back to bare plastic and go through the entire finishing process again.

2 Words. JUNK YARD. Look for a used one in better shape.
