Opinions please..

Decent rattlecan chrome is pretty much non-existent..( although, I'm going to be trying the Revell mirror chrome soon )...so a buddy of mine said, "why don't you just paint the would be chrome areas the body color.." Maybe someone else has done it but I've never seen it, so I did a little test mock up just on the outer heater bezel trim.. What do you think..? I actually kinda dig it.. I'd prefer the chrome, but this seems to be a pretty cool alternative.
