Default Blacked out... stuff

Hey guys, I'm looking for opinions here. I'm getting tired of the old school chrome on the truck, and I'm thinking about making all the chrome black. Think it would look any good? And if there's any photoshop guys in here, it'd be much appreciated!

It's just like normal spray paint, but it doesn't require sanding, and if you don't like it, it will pull right off. Just like pulling off tape. But it can withstand power washing and all that good stuff

Home Depot/Lowes. It's great as long as you don't have to mask. If you do you just have to spray a really thick coat and take the tape off before it dries. Because once it does it all sticks together and you'll have to take a razor blade to the line between what you want black, and the masking tape. Peeling the tape away when it dries, it'll take it all back up basically. It's good stuff though aside from that.

And you don't want mine haha peeling clearcoat everywhere! I'm just trying to modernize my truck a little more. But I also cleaned it today and I love my chrome clean dirt roads really suck for keeping a nice truck

No need to make a new thread but I did start on the front end black out. Took about 5 minutes a week ago and did my corners. I'm doing the bumper some time this week
