Anyone removed/painted over Chrome on front grill?

I have a MY 2003 G500 and having the front grill piece either repainted or replaced. I would prefer to go solid without the chrome. Has anyone done this or have suggestions? Thank you.

RE: Anyone removed/painted over Chrome on front grill?

Yes that is just a thin plastic stick-on chrome foil. On my 2002 G500 that I used to have, I just heated it up with a hair dryer and peeled it off and then cleaned the adhesive residue off with rubbing alcohol.
When my new to me 2000 G500 had the grill replaced, I had the body shop not add the strips, so I have a full set, brand new, still in the package.

A friend of mine tried to do me a favor and used a power washer to clean my truck. He took a piece of the sticker right off. I ended up having to use the power washer to take the rest off.
