Default You obviously have experience

How does that stuff hold up? I know some companies offer a regular automotive clear coat over top to increase durability. They are also claiming like a week turn around time. I've been thinking of doing the grill(s) as well, but I'm not sure which ones to do. Maybe just the top.

Default We use them on emblems and such on prototypes and models. They are pretty durable, but the surface

must be absolutely perfect because when it is chrome, every little scratch and ding shows up. Also, I'd imagine that clear coat would be a good idea because the stone chips and bugs from road use would ruin it pretty fast.
