- 2008 Explorer Limited
Hi all.
The chrome on grille on my 2008 Explorer limited started to peel off more than a year ago. I replaced it last summer with an aftermerket grille ordered at Amazon for $100+. I have cleaned and waxed it several times but after just one winter it has become brown coloured of rust with green spots and makes my car look very bad.
I am wondering if I should try to remove the rust on my new grille and re-paint it, but I am afraid that the rust will come through in a while.
I still have my old grille. I could also try to repaint that one, but I am afraid that the chrome would continue to peel off.
What do you recommend?
thanks
