I agree, I used it on a spare rally dash a few years back. I was trying to duplicate the "chrome" finish on entire dash bezel. Came out almost "chalky". Heres a center I test sprayed a week ago. VERY SLIGHT powder coming off. I think for small areas it will work better then the brushed on "chrome" I just took these pics. Small area at bottom of center was painted with a brush and model "chrome"...not even close.
