Default anyone used the duplicolor black chrome spray?

whats goin on everyone, had a quick question about this new duplicolor black chrome spray...has anyone used it on plastic? if so did it adhere well or did it flake off? ive really been thinking about seperating my headlight housings from the lenses and black chrome"ing the reflectors. never heard of anyone doing it but it seems pretty close to the aftermarket black housing look without the cost.

thanks

TJ

I would try it on something before I used it on the headlights. I have actually not heard of it.

I've used it on my chrome wheels and my welding hood lol. Just do the basics clean it real well I used adhesive promotor first to help it stick. And it works great and looks better. I get asked about it all the time

thanks for the advice man, i figured use wax n grease remover to prep it but didnt even think about the adhesive promotor! and im sure both the wheels and the welding hood turned out good. always figured if it was done right itd look pretty ****! as for my DRL markers, i think their not gonna be able to go black chrome, heat from the bulb melted off the chrome paint so i think theyre just gonna be goin gloss black, im still planning on usuing that duplicolor blk chrome on the actual headlight housings though
