So I was at the auto parts store yesterday and came across this stuff called shadow. I duno if anybody has seen or used this stuff before. It was the first time I have seen it. But it's a two can set and is used for blacking out chrome. It comes with the paint and clear. It's more or less a translucent black paint that still allows the chrome to show through. I used it on a couple small chrome parts I had laying around and it looked pretty good. So I'm thinking I'm going to used this on my head lights now and paint the rings gloss black. Hey if I don't like it I'll just paint them the flat black I originally intended on. Thought I'd share my find with everyone and see what your thoughts are and if anybody has used this stuff before and if it worked well.
