How to tone down chrome

[chill_will]

I’m still waiting on my iconic silver platinum and was thinking of taking scotch brite to the side mirror caps and handles to tone down the chrome, giving it more of a satin chrome or brushed aluminum finish to match the grill better…has anyone tried this?

No, but it's abs chrome coated plastic I believe. If it were real chrome, maybe. You'll ruin it imho.

Thanks for the help. Figured the plastic chrome would cause problems. Probably going to remove the caps and paint them then.

I would advise not to mess with it.

Plastidip them.... But wait till you get the truck than worry about what you're changing already. You might like it as is.

Do you have a link for pre cut handle and mirror vinyl or do you just cut it yourself?
