[sorefoot]

I have a 2005 Focus w/the chrome band around the grill w/black plastic grill. I would LOVE to paint it all black (like their rally cars–don’t like it looking like a little Ford 500)

Should I lightly sand the chrome, then paint? What about a primer? Most of the self-etching primers say for metal only. Is this chrome really metal?

I want a “pearl” (a smooth, not shiny, not flat) black paint to paint the entire grill. What’s gonna stick to the plastic and the chrome finish?

Thank you for your time and help.
