removing chrome

Is it easy to remove the chrome trim around the front grill for paint? Ive dipped the front headlight rings after removing them, because it was an easy process. Wondering what the best approach to dipping the grill trim is.. also, do the tail light rings unclip and pop off like the headlight rings? Lastly, the chrome door handles? I find it way easier to just remove pieces rather than masking them. Thanks!

R99 did the chrome around the grill on his project. Thread here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ct-thread.html end of page 1 through page 2 has info on that. From what I remember its more involved than the other pieces, requires a lot more to remove it. Unsure on the other pieces =)
