Originally painted the rear bumper aluminum color, then noticed the front grill is molded in on body. Proceeded to use Molotow Chrome pen for rear bumper last night. Not happy with it. Sitting in bin to strip off paint.

This time, I'll empty the chrome pens and airbrush them instead. I could have used chrome foil but not sure how good adhesive condition they are after sitting in cabinet for 5 years.
