Forget the acid. I sanded my grill down and painted it with dark t-red. It turned out just as good. Even if you dip it in acid the paint is not going to hold up against a rock on the highway. My whole front end is fugged up from highway driving and before I painted my grill the chrome had chips on it! Just some food for thought. 
What grit sand paper did you use? Also did you put a clear coat over it?
