You will have to scuff up the chrome and you'll be fine. Just follow the instructions I have and you shouldn't have a problem. You may need to get some self etching primer as well. Check out this site too. It talks about painting chrome:

They probably have the wrong variance in the paint. I believe they have a good return policy and will match up the paint for you. Call them and they will send you some painted variances to match up your car. This is how most body shops do their matching.QUICKSILVER_LS said:

hey ghost, i noticed on your site that you do not offer items with the paint code WF. Is ceramic white similar to WF?

You can get the grilles painted any paint code. I don't have the much line space in the option field to list every paint code. I have an option on there called "other". Just select that and indicate in the comment field what paint code you wish have the grille painted.lexdiamondz10304 said:
Paint Code WF is White Pearl according the Ford paint chip chart. Here's a link to all of the paint codes since 1937:
