    Chrome wont come off with t cut mate. There is like 3 layers of primer 2 layers of copper the chrome and the chrome sealer. If you want them black you have to paint them. If you want them to match the plastic grill then paint them satin black its a pretty good match once you apply some plastic trim gel.

    yea mate there's like a copper coating (or something) and then its chrome plate, will never come off with sand paper lol, best bet is just to key them and spray them

    Use plenty of t-cut, rub hard. Shouldn't take much loner than ten minutes

    Cracked on with this this morning, and must say, took about 5 minutes.

    Dunno if its ever been said or mentioned, but I used a pan scrub and it came straight off, then used a flannel to rub it all off.

    Any abrasive polish will work when making the badges black
