The chrome tips end up getting pretty crusty so this looks good on your color. Glad to see you took down the tree.

I noticed the clear was slightly smoked, either way it looks great! The red would look good black as well.

Thanks!!! I'll post some pictures of the 2 cans later , There is a special clear coating that has to be applied on the chrome so the paint sticks for good , and it's about 3 coats of that before the actual black paint . I used a Engine Low gloss black paint .

The 2 cans i used !!!!!! 3 coats of the ADHESION PROMOTER allow dry time of 3 minutes between the coats , and same with the black paint and it should last for years looking good!!!
