It really is. The color is a little washed out because of all the light coming in from the garage door being open, but it is really deep black. And very tough. I sprayed it on a piece of extra chrome trim I had laying around, and whacked it several times with a screwdriver blade, and it didn't even marr up until about the 4th time I hit it.

norcal, the side trim does come off, but you will have to replace several of the clips before you can put it back on, and it's VERY easy to bend this shit. Once you bend it, it's garbage. Just do it on the car.

Don't even bother masking the tire. This stuff just peels/rubs off. It will be especially easy to remove the overspray from the rubber tire. You'll just be wasting your time.

did you only paint the aluminum part? or did you spray the whole thing? for the side mouldings.
