Black Chrome paint Gloss, somebody has tried?
 
I bought my HHR exactly two years ago (used), and I want to make a refresh to it. I bought two cans of Dupli-Color Cans to have a black chrome appereance (one can is the black tint and the other is the cover gloss). I´m going to paint the grille and the rims, but, I would like to know if somebody has made this. Wish me luck!

One of our members (mongo) used Dupli-Color Shadow to tint his grille and it turned out pretty good.

He did several coats and then a couple coats of clear.

They make a black chrome specifically for wheels, not sure if that's what you have or not. I would be more durable for both wheels and the grill.

Well, the can instruccions shows that can be aplied for chrome or polished wheels, accessories and trim... I guess that I could use the same for the grille and wheels.

That's probably the Dupli Color wheel paint you have then..... :twothumbs:

That does look very good it's just like the black chrome one at the dealership. You will need many more cans, thin multiple coats works, this owner was skilled with a rattle can.:cowboy:

HHHMMM? I thinketh this may be the answer to my grille, mirrors, beauty bar and roof rails issue. The issue being I couldn't afford the black chrome upgrade when I bought my 2LT. Did he sand it lightly before applying or no?

Don't know. You could send him a PM and find out.
