Dupli-Color Shadow Chrome Blackout Coating, Shadow, 11 oz

Works awesome.. No negative reviews allowed if you Do Not Prep Properly… Clean! Clean! Clean! Light Scuff! And definitely cannot leave a negative review if Adhesion Promoter was used! It says Plastic Adhesion Promoter on the label but investigate and will find it can be used on Chrome/Metal (wheels). Tinted my ‘25 GMC 1500 wheels. Came out perfect.

I purchased the kit to use on my chrome front and rear bumpers. I ended up putting it on the chrome grill on my dodge. The instructions recommend 8-10" from surface for the first 3 coats. i however was probably 2-6" away and got too much on in the first application. DONT DO THAT. stay at the recommenced distance. after the initial coat i couldnt get the next coats to make it uniform. Make full sweeps across your surface and taper off the edges so you dont get stop lines. As it states, the more coats you apply the darker it gets. Thats what i ended up with, but im satisfied with the product and the look. The clear coat looks great and is easier to apply. I would recommend it and will purchase again for my bumpers.

It probably works well over chrome but this is what it does over black. Just really kind of makes it glossy. Probably could have gotten the same effect with a cheaper can of paint. Maybe I should have sprayed chrome paint under it first

I had multiple issues with this paint, mostly that it has a green hue under natural light (or white light) unless you use 2+coats of the product, but if you do that, it no longer looks like black chrome, but like a really shiny black. 2nd issue is how "thin" the paint is, it feels like water when you spray it, so runny paint occurs easily. The paint is self-leveling so runny paint isn't a big issue but it makes it more difficult to use, especially on smaller items. Also, the paint fades unless you use the supplied clear coat, but you must be careful using the clear coat because it can remove the black chrome paint if you spray too much (ask me how I know) of it. If you don't mind a green hue, I recommend but it just didn't work more my application.

Other than having some minor runs here and there, this product did the job. The end result was exactly what I was looking for because I put on 5 coats. No greenish effect what so ever and quality overcame my expectations. If I need to paint any wheels to black in the future, I would definitely use it again against regular wheel paint.

ASE certified painting and refinishing which includes painting vehichles for over 15 yrs and I challenge anyone to effectively apply this product with any kind of success. The basecoat layed with a coarse even blotchy appearance. And the nozzle design to shoot an even fan? Expect streaks and skipping. Even cross cutting would not work. At least I did not invest a fortune in this. But then again what should I have expected with that in mind. You are better off passing on any ideas or interest in this product. Save yourself the time and money. Especially the headache of removing it from your project once you've seen the ill results.

Pic one is one light coat. Second pic is 5 coats. Piece was chrome and needed it black. I was like this will never stick to chrome but yeah you tube said it will. So I wiped down parts using rubbing alcohol and a micro towel. Let it dry. Then used 3 light coats and waiting 30 minutes on a hot 80 degree day out in sun. And after 5 coats and 2 clear coats and now 2600 miles on parts after shadow the chrome it is still stuck on there and been in rain and washed and pressure washed I am greatly surprised that it staying on chrome. Now I can black out more parts on motorcycle

Great Idea, and works well. BUT, I am a daily rider rain or shine here in the big city so products don't last very long in my situation. This is great for non-service chrome, you know chrome you don't place you feet on and is just there for visual affect. I dod this on a Krapkuran part as their chrome is not meant to be outside at all. Kuryakyn = Krapkuran, guess it should be Krapkuryakyn.

Eh it was ok but it fakes after a while tho

I did not work on my car's chrome parts
