The satin finish hides brake dust rather well, and the finish holds up to pressure washing at the local car wash. I did my taillight bezels, bowties and front SS badge as well to maintain continuity in the texture while eliminating all of the chrome accents from my car. Could I have paid more to have it all done professionally?? Of course, but there is some satisfaction in doing it myself. Being able to remove it if I screw up is just a bonus. Just because I can hold a calligraphy pen, does not mean that I should stop using pencil.  |
I showed up to the track like above and everyone was like....damn those wheels are nice where did you get them? I'm like they are stock with some rubberized paint on them.
it holds up well to everything but the lugnuts being torqued and for that I just spot spray them when i'm done torquing them down. Problem solved.
