If you want it to stay like that forever...I would sand it. I didn't sand mine cause I wasn't sure if I wanted it that way. I just used the xtra Krylon I used for my headlights. I ended up kinda messing up cause I had a smug on it. I just peeled it right off. Can't even tell I sprayed it. I wouldn't use Krylon though...use another type of Spray paint.

I hope not to step on toes here, but why is this such a popular mod?

Im not speaking for others, but personally its because Im keeping the front stock and have no other chrome on the truck.
When I get a little time Im even going to tape off the emblem on the steering wheel and black it out with a paint pen - its really obnoxious.

Some people get bored and mess with their truck when they run out of 'free' mods.

it's simple, easy and changes the whole dynamic of the front end without shelling out an arm and a leg for a grill...
