The plastic over the chrome will prob crack. I would paint it on car. it should be easy to mask off because of the space around it 1995 V6 SE MTX 1998.5 CSVT 1963 Riley Elf/Saab 2.0L Turbo swap Go to the Photoshop tutorial page

That's why I need to take it off and re-do it. What about buying a new one? I don't mind paying $20-30 for a brand new one.
