Smile Chrome Truck Grille

I have a 98 Chevy Truck and would like to try the Chrome paint on my grille and was wondering if it would look like real chrome or a spray paint imitation. Unfortunately the truck hit a dear 8 days after being purchased and the grille had to be replaced, the shop I took it to replaced it with a cheaper plastic grille. That started to flake a few years later and now looks terrible, but since I am planning on trading the truck in for a new one this summer I don't really want to pay $200-300 for a new OEM grille. Any info on the final product finish would be greatly appreciated and would love to see some pictures if possible.

Thank You,
-Pureadrenaline-

ok how about a windshield for the same truck do you have any good ideas where to find any used one or would it be best to try and find a glass company that carries them?

it is a chevy. The original grille has been busted and was trashed. I will see if I can dig up a pic. I have a billet grill for now but everyone in town is running one.

Your are always better off having a glass company install a new one for you.
