Very nice. Works well in black... I suspect other colors wouldn't get the same effect.

I took it to a body shop to get it painted. A layer of primer, sealant, 2 layers of paint, 2 layers of clear coat.

Was that done over the chrome, or did they actually sand it down first?

Sanded down of course
I wouldn't let them just put primer on top of the chrome. They did an excellent job.

Wow, definately another thing to put on my to-do list. That is such a great idea! It makes the grill fit into the true "black tone." Genius idea...
