Chrome Grille Bubbling

Hey fellow H3 owners..

I have an 06 H3 with the chrome Grille...As some of you may already know, I keep my Hummer spotless and is a pavement queen...

So just recently I found that the grille on the top area has a bubble under the chrome..I've always used a spray caranuba wax on this and wiped with a microfiber towel..and it has not been dinged...The Dealer said the warranty didn't cover that.:deal:

So I'm on the look out for a really clean or new grille....On ebay they are around $500.00 to $600.00:giggle:

Any pointers appreciated.

seems like most people on here are all about getting rid of their chrome. Maybe someone who is about to paint their chrome grille black anyways will swap with you.

Use the damn search feature Dude.................:giggle::giggle::giggle:

Sorry man.....Couldnt resist.

If it were me, I'd sell or trade to someone looking to Linex one.

Like the Honey Badger, Linex dont give a **** about no bubbles.

Time to color match maybe?

No need to apologize. "RTFF" isn't a feature of this forum. I'm surprised my own grill hasn't bubbled with all of the chips and stuff I have in it. But you've probably buffed off the finish with all of the cleaning you do :wink:

Mine looks like it has a slight bubble on the top edge. I think when a powder coated part is doing this the term is exfoliation. When I bought my truck at Pasadena hummer they had a new boulder gray painted grille hanging on the wall. I sometimes wonder if that painted grille would've been better than the plastic chromed one.

Thanks Dennis!

I believe that you can wheel a T with chrome, at least for awhile!!

Someday, I'll probably have to paint it or Line-X it but until it's trashed I'll wheel it and look good doing it (at least in my mind). I'm also old enough that I'm not trying to impress anyone anymore, so I go with what I like.

On a side note, I still plan to color match the grille (someday). There is too much chrome in the front even for me and the chrome grille guard and chrome grill are fighting for attention.
