Black chrome paint is not cheap at all, and its more of a light light smoked chrome then black chrome

Damn Ive been actually thinking of doing that I didnt know that anyone has done it... Which would look better for the liquid platnium black gloss or flat black? I have black rims and opaque black head/ tail lights overlays...

Black G grille....!

From the pic posted on this thread I'd say that gloss black would be my only
choice. Several clear coats will make it last and leave the Mt. Fuji chrome.
This should look great with your OB coupe....

I used satin black on OB coupe. I think it looks great, its right in between gloss and flat. Search the DIY on the sanding and priming techniques. Good luck.
