    No marks, scratches, or blemishes.

    I'd rather not have to paint the chrome ones.

    I dont care for the chrome caps. I thought about coloring them black but id rather just go with color matched. I havent seen many people on here who have done that with barcelona red.

    @Hank
    Get self etching primer, this way just wipe clean the chrome, and spray. Barcelona red is code 3R3, i bought two cans of inferno pretty much used it all, i wanted thick and finally any good quality clear coat.
    not too bad on a hot day good 2- hour job. Its harder to remove the caps lol
