Although this isn't a "mirror chrome" paint like some others, it's much easier to apply, and looks great.
The only trick is to wait a couple of days for it to completely cure after painting, so it hardens and doesn't scratch as easily. Also, I made a test piece with and without a gloss black base coat, and my son preferred with.
