It is on all of the highlights. Rims too. When it chips, I spray on a new coat. Headlight bezels too.
A lot of people do not like it cause they are SUPPOSED to be chrome. But, 80% like it cause it is different. If it was a snobby GTO, I most likely would not have done it.

Looks good. Didn't notice it before in the smaller pictures. I painted the front bumper on my '74 Cutlass for the same reason (body color)-and that one (being a 125 lb bumper)-(no joking) would cost a fortune to ship away to get rechromed. I may paint my Cutlass bumper with this color as well. Has a European look to it.
What is the actual color called?
