Matching Platinum grille finish to other chrome?

[UNBROKEN]

I don't want to completely color match my truck but the chrome door handles and fender emblem bug me. Is there a way to scuff them with something to match the finish on the grille and tailgate panel?
Maybe a hyrdo dip that matches? Anything?

That'd be some hydro-dip skills.......what about vinyl just to see what it looks like?

Not a fan...it always peels up on detailed parts like the fender emblem.

So you're looking for something like this? (I know yours is a 2015, but it's probably the same and you just use the actual handle portion of the cover)

How about paint or wrap a flat white.

Close...I was thinking about just brushing the parts down with steel wool or something?
They're small so it would be easy to keep the marks uniform. WTF will scratch chrome that I can experiment with?

Steel wool maybe? Starts with 00... God you said that already.

Don't wanna paint them...my first choice would be a finish match vs a color match.

Maybe use a bench grinder except with a wire wheel on it. That way you get a constant speed/spin and all you have to do is control the piece you are working..... Let the wire wheel do the work until you get the desired result.

Scotch brite. Check the fabrication forum. I asked a similar question and a guy who had just done a grill responded with pics
