What would be involved in blacking out the chrome on the RX 300 front grille? Is there a way to do it where the black stuff doesn't start to peel off after a few months?

Default Please Forgive My Ignorance

I'm undoubtedly not up on the latest customizing technology, but the only way I know of to black out your chrome is to put this black liquid on it (kind of like a thick black paint). The liquid dries to a plastic-like coating, which after some time can start to peel off.

Is this the "black chrome" you're talking about, or is there some new way to do it?
