Great job. Even your shift knob shines as a mirror or is that chrome?

IMO from looking at the pics, it looks like there is a lot of orange peel in the paint! It needs to be rubbed and buffed out....

umm...i guess you could say its chrome-ish?....that part of my knob was peeling when i bought it...so i just scratched off the rest of it...now its just a shiny metal

we'll just call it shiny metal for now to avoid all the anti-chrome-ers here...
