[Chrysler300] Rechroming G grille center

["Fern Rivard" <crc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Here's how I dealt with rechroming the grille centre on my 300H. I was fortunate in several of these centres and I carefully cut the very centre portion out of the complete assembly (actually used two of them to do this properly) and had them chromed seperately and it turned out just fine. My chromer tried several times to do it all in one piece and it just wasn't working out as the chrome would "not flow" properly on the inside.

You could always buy the NOS one from Frank Mitchell for $375.

While we're on the topic of G grille restoration, how
have your results  been getting G grille centers
rechromed? I recently had one done, and  wasn't that
happy with it. Specifically, the nickel shows though
in  between the outer and the center. George Riehl
actually warned me about  this years ago, so when I
brought it in to my (ex)chrome guy, I asked him  if he
could get chrome in there, as well as fill the pits in
that area.  He replied "that's what I do."

When it came back, the outer surfaces  looked fine, but
there was still pitting and discoloration in that  in
between area. He wasn't there and his employee said
you can't get the  chrome into a place like that(!) On
the upside, his price was low on that  piece compared
to some other pieces I had him do. Maybe he wasn't
happy  with it himself? It'll probably won't be that
noticeable when it's  installed in the car, but anybody
have thoughts/experiencehave thoughts/ex
