65 'cuda lockstrip: chrome vs black

My chrome lockstrip was worn off and I painted it black when it was out. For 5 years I lived with it that way and finally I bought some of the Chevy stuff (see this discussion here if you need some: http://www.earlyabodyforum.com/board/messages/394/440.html ) and I can't believe I waited that long!

My car is black and the chrome lockstrip looks fantastic! I swear, since I replaced it (and tinted my rear window) I get twice as many people commenting on how nice my car is or saying cool car.

Go chrome, black looks like ****.
