'Dull chrome' has to be an oxymoron if ever i've heard one.

I have used it - once and never again. It looks nothing like chrome, just a horrible dull silver colour.

Yes you can get decent chrome paint but the cost of it means that its cheaper to get your crash bars replated.

Nope, it's painted.

Clicky
