I have a 72 GMC and I'm looking for a all chrome grille like the one for a 67, I found the panited and chrome.

I bought the painted and chrome one from GMC Pauls and removed the paint with acetone.

Like mine? Well mine started out as one with the black around the edges, but i stripped the black off and made mine a solid chrome grill.

I did the same. I personally think it looks way better without the black accents.

When using the acetone do you rub it on or what? Then what do you do? Anything special? Or just wax it?

I just rubbed the acetone on with a rag and took off the paint. Then I used brasso to polish the chrome where the paint was. It'll shine right up!!

Ok thanks will do.

Use the acetone in a well vented area, preferably outdoors. I think mine took about a quart and a few rags but pretty easy. I then just used turtle wax chrome polish and it came out great. See pic above.
