Very Black, very shinny grille....!

Good job, I really like the gloss black rather than flat! Flat black is very dull
with the silver Geees. Did you clearcoat for better protection, kinda like
wearing a raincoat?

well its simple really what i did to ensure no paint chips is a sanded it all the way down to just the chrome then put 2 medium coats of primer with a additive called flex additive its for bumpers to prevent the paint from cracking when moved. then while the primer had just flashed off (egg shell appearance) i applied 2-3 medium coats of base no additives. then let that dry mixed up clear enough for 3 medium coats also with the Flex additive so the way when rocks hit it the paint is soft to where it absorbs the blow of the rock and then kinda returns to its previous state if that makes any sense?
