i haven't seen the paint youre referring to in person, but real black chrome is most definately shiny and reflective
edit...haha, i just looked at the paint you linked and it looks like a mirror. notice the clouds in the picture of the helmet, now imagine what the car would look like on a clear day lol....i agree it would look sick, but blinding to others unless you only drive at night

It's still chrome... unless you are looking at the fake hyperblack-ish black chrome.

Actually, playing around with the paint a bit, I understand what's going on... if your spray only one or two layers, the paint will look and reflect a lot like chrome. If you spray 3-4 layers of paint, it looks dark and grey...
