Re: To Black Out or Not? How does this look? 2010 Fusion
Would this sneaking in behind you when you are going a little too fast get your adrenaline going? In high school I actually had a siren and flasher headlights. It was pretty stupid but a few times we got cars to move out of our way thinking we were police going down the freeway. A friend borrowed my siren and he got busted driving down a residential area. His car looked nothing like a police car. It was funny as heck but they took away the siren and I never replaced it. Originally Posted by JDS

Without the flasher headlights, I don't think I'd mistake it for a cop car. But I can appreciate how you could easily make it into a "police car theme" sort of style.

Don't really want to do that.
It is a sickening feeling to see that red light turn on behind you. About every 3-4 years I seem to relive that experience. Hoping that with the things I have learned here and a better RD I can stretch that interval out much further.
9500ix arrives tomorrow!
Looking forward to trying it out.

Black wasn't holding up as well as I would have liked to the rock chips. So I have changed it once again. It is now brushed nickel! What do you guys think about it now? I think I like it the best with this finish.

904, I forget, did you clearcoat the black, or is it "naked?"

I much prefer the black. With the black grille and the black trim rings, that car looks pretty darn good - for a Ford.

Re: To Black Out or Not? How does this look? 2010 Fusion
It was a naked "satin black" finish. But I didn't use primer and I think because of that it chipped too easy. Today I chemically removed the black paint and sanded the chrome with a 200 grit paper planning to primer and repaint. But I liked the brushed finish so decided to leave it like that for a while. I may still go back to black. Not sure. Looking back at the black when it was freshly painted looks pretty good too. (For a Ford as Swarga would say.) Originally Posted by TSi+WRX

^ If you do go back to black, definitely properly prep. the surface, that will help *tremendously*.
Include a matte clearcoat, if you want even more chip-resistance, but that'll depend on your final preference for cosmetics.
