black chrome paint is expensive and hard to spray. I know my friend is spraying his skyline black chrome!

Thanks for the info.

Pics of your grill surround would be greatly appreciate it.

That shop is near me and I wanna see how close it is to the black pearl emblems.

Tommy could you post some upclose shots of the black chrome grill. I just put the black pearl emblems on and i think the grill is going to be my next project.
