Chrome black out kit

[justin_08]

Has anyone used a duplicolor chrome black out kit? I was thinking about doing my front and rear bumpers and possibly my stack, but didn't know if the kit was worth trying or not?

I think it would work ok on bumpers and wheels. . . Pretty sure it wouldnt last long in the stack though.

I didn't know how easy it would chip off on the front bumper. Yea good point on the stack never thought about the heat. I really want the black chrome look on bumpers but don't want to pay to send them off somewhere and have them replated.

I have used BBQ paint on exhausts with good results. You end up with a matte black look so no go if your wanting a black chrome shiny look.

Header paint works well for stacks as well

I'm trying to go for the black chrome shiny look so I don't really want to use BBQ paint. I guess I will have to either sell it and buy a black chrome one or send mine off and have it replated in black chrome

I tried it on my front bumper once. I made an incredibly stupid mistake but it sounded like a good idea to me at the time. I decided I would want to chrome polish the bumper first so it looked good thru the paint, I proceeded to do so then didnt get a paint prep cleaner and left the polish on. Needless to say it didnt stick, Bubbled up green, And took me 4 hours to get it all back off. So my advice would be to just clean the bumper with there recommended paint prep crap. Don't polish it.

And i've been a little discouraged since that happened so I havent tried again with my new lesson learned.

i sold some to customer of mine, its been on the bumpers for 2 yrs with no chipping, he tried to paint his exhaust tip and it only lasted a week, so im sure it wont last on the stack. diamond eye sells a real nice black chrome stack..

Ok thanks for the advice. How well did it look on the bumper? Was it shiny or just look black? I'll will check out there stacks thanks!
