went to lowes and got some 500 grit sand paper and used some krylon exterior ultra flat black paint..sanded all that nasty fake chrome off and gave it 8 coats. i think it looks awsome, lets just see how it holds up

no clear yet, i want to see how it holds up without it... i figure if it gets horrible i can remove it and redo it in under 20 minutes if need be. plus i really like the ultra flat black look.
