I thought it was gonna be hard, but it actually wasn't too bad, just took my time. The worst part was taping everything off, then trying to keep the chrome from stripping of when I removed the tape. I stuck it in the freezer to help the tape come off better. Still lost a little chrome but not so much that you would see unless you are right next to it looking for it.

I prefer the blacked out look and I think you pulled it off well

It depends on how thick you put it on, but I used about 1 can per wheel, maybe just a hair less.
