Ide do some research into the best clear coating options.  I think it would last for a hell of a lot longer with a good clear ontop.   Not to say that the clear coat included isnt good..   but it could be better.   It goes on a bit to thin for my liking.

the finish turned out pretty damn nice, but you're risking what sheela warned me about when she coated my piping..

"the black hole" effect :p

hopefully the chrome effect will counter that  a bit, because the look of the coating turned out quite nice :)

What effect are you referring to?   Im guna be shocked if it holds up for any length of time to be honest with ya.  I already have aircraft coating remover, just in case. haha

I did this just out of curiosity really.  If the Black shadow is applied over a real chrome or "real chrome", it would probably have the proper effect.  But when applied over spray chrome, it mainly turns gunmetal. So I went to town on the sides of the pipe in order to highlight the top portions of the piping.  I had to fix up the large intake pipe, and ran low on paint, so its a tad blochy.  I do still think that the finish is really cool.  In the sunlight, it almost has a blue/green color to it.  Its not black to grey.  It looks really cool.

Here's mine with the chrome coats...I did the black chrome shortly after but I think I'm gonna strip the black and just keep it chrome. Can't take the Surrey outta me I guess.  ;D
