If you have a chrome grill, just paint it. I went to my local auto paint/parts store and they hooked me up with the proper etching primer, and paint. I went over the complete grill with a scotchbrite pad, then cleaned the grill, 3 light coats of etching primer, and then an hour later 2 coats of paint.
Prior to prepping the grill, I heated up the "HUMMER" letters with a hair drier and the came off easily. The primor and paint came in spray cans, so no need for mixing, or using a spray gun and compressor. If you give the paint store the vehicles paint code, they can match it in a spray can.
I looked at purchasing a painted grill, and with shipping was about $375.00.
I painted mine myself for $32.00 and a couple hours time. Also, it is very easy to remove the grill. 2 nuts on each side of the side marker lights, then gently close hood, and then pull the grill off. There are 2 clips holding it on after you remove the nuts, but it pulls off pretty easily. Then, lay grill face down on a table, etc, and there will be 3 more clips holding the lower grill on. I took a pliers and gently squeezed the clips and popped the lower grill off.
Just thought I'd pass this on, on how easy it is to paint.

Thanks snmazer for the painting info, I've been considering doing this myself. You mention heating the HUMMER lettering to get it off, what about getting it back on? or did you just paint over?

hmmm. i had no idea those letter came out. And, good question on how to re-apply them. The letters are grey in color, so I wouldnt paint over them.


thanks for the info
