I have experimented with painting cars in this finish and blackchrome ( like E39 wheels) but we did not seem to be able to get a large surface done the way I would like it. We had issues with the reflexibility of the paint and it would not "overflow" from one section to another well enough. Plus it eventually became flat and there was no polishing back to life.
Wonder how they have done it?
Can't imagine they haven't had the setbacks we had.
