Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

I paint the chomed and cracked grill on my hummer, just because I couldn't find proper replacement, we will see how long it will work...
Normally to make proper job, you should remove the chrome completely. To do such from my mags, I spent 800$ for 5......
I will definitely keep you guys updated in terms of longevity. It was a quick and easy option. But maybe not the best. But time will tell for sure.

wow, seems expensive. But obviously sounds like the best way to go for a more permanent finish. I’ll definitely keep everyone updated on the longevity.

hmm, I didn’t event think to use clear acrylic sealer. I’ll have to get some and throw a coat on. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you go with polyurethane clear coat (tough stuff) use water base not oil base. The oil base tends to have a yellowish tint to it. Ask me how I know.

Good from far, but not bad up close.

I’ll eventually throw down a clear coat to finish it off. Possibly another coat of paint before hand.

There are blemishes, not perfect. But I do really like the color.

Handle looks good to me, protect with sealer. Also give your fender a new coat.
