Yup, seen the Audi guys use it too. Works very well. Holds up, doesn't chip like regular paint does.

My Ride: 2004 530i premium package/active steering/auto sunshade/tiag/black dakota leather/logic 7 35% tint all around 19' DPE GT7

I tried this on my e46 before and initially it looked great but the paint chipped away over time and looked bad. I even sanded it first then put like 5 layers of black paint and 3 layers of clear coat and still didn't hold up so I still ended up having to buy the black grilles.
