To get that black chrome look use an adhesion promoter followed by VHT nitshades and clear. I did it on my old Maxima and it came out awesome.

I read a thread on here about that kit and heard its crap, now I'm not sure if it's true I don't recall seeing any pics, but if you want good results use the niteshades. There's a bunch of DIYs on different forums using similar techniques but I'm not gonna link them here so this may help.

i used the niteshades on mine, it works great. (you just need to be very patience removing the OEM chrome and make it even application)

I painted my grill with duplicolor paint months ago and I did a 300 or so mile road trip and it hasn't flaked at all. As long as you take your time and do it right, as this was my first time doing any kind of work like this, it'll be pretty flawless
