a/c vent

anybody ever try painting the chrome around their a/c vents??? im trying to get rid of as much chrome as possible and these are next on the list. just curious as to how they were prepped and what kind of paint anybody used for 'em....

Has anyone else had this condition? The air would not blow out of the dash vents. I could get it to work in defrost and floor mode, but not through the vents. I called the dealership and was going to take it in the following Monday. On Saturday, it started working fine with no issues.
