^^ Dupont "ultra silver" FTW! That pic doesn't do it justice though.

Chrome paint sucks.

Yeah, it's a really nice color. Thats the exact same stuff I used on all of my trim and shift gate as well.

Chrome is really hard to get to lay right. Another color such as pcitured above would be a lot nicer and cleaner looking
