Night shade on Chrome
Yeah he did, it looks pretty good in person. I think his problem with it was that its not very durable.
It looked cool at first HOWEVER it doesn't make it look like smoked chrome. I cleaned it thoroughly, used the exact adhesion promoter they show, and yea, this stuff doesn't stick worth crap. My grill looks horrible right now because sections of the paint are missing and the old chrome is showing though. I'm going to go a different route with it.
