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?

Takes about 4 beers...it will bubble and curl right up and pull off w/ the heat. Wear some gloves, its hot.
