Default Re: Grill color change... chrome bubbles???

I'm looking to do my front grill. Undecided on blue or black. In any event I don't think I'm into the plastidip, bed liner, etc..

Think I want to paint it. Most likely I'll go with blue duplicolor.

I have a heat gun. What's that process like to remove the chrome? I don't want to melt the grill or anything. Does it just bubble and lift off?? Is it a quick process or are we talking picking chrome off for two days?

Assume once the chrome is off a layer or two of primer followed by paint. What about clear coat?
