How do I get my gold emblem to chrome? Thanks.

 

Take off the gold emblems and put on chrome ones.

 

isn't there a gold coating on it? is there some kind of chemical to remove the gold?

 

sand down and spay paint silver, or even better paint um gun metal

 

i bought the maxima in silver/chrome from the dealer, but sanded the key lock and antenna and it came out silver...do it up!

 

Yeah, Gold emblems are simply regular chrome color ones that the dealer had gold plated. You can buy new ones, paint the old ones, or sand it off and see what happens. I think new emblems are fairly cheap.

 

silver is not chrome right? sanding the gold would damage the underneth chrome?

 

Try some Goo Gone......

 

what emblems? I could probably trade with you.

 

front grill emblem. gold color is slightly faded already.

 

take the letters off and paint them.

 

you mean silver paint? it's not chrome right?

 

I took an optical polish and buffed the trunk key hole and antenna (both gold and fading). I didn't spend much time with it, but they are almost silver now.

 

optical polish? is that some kind of alcohol?

 

No it's a white paste (well sort of) with a fine polishing compound. It's called NicSand "Optical Grade Automotive Polish". I was using it to get rid of scratches, then I tried it on the gold (figuring it would either *sand* it to chrome or polish the gold) it started to take off the gold (I hate the gold0).
