I checked the another thread about chrome covers and the reviews are mixed. Some were good but since some had curling, cracking, discoloration, or other problems I'm very hesitant to spend three hundred buck on it. The high temp paint seems to bond very well. The finish is plain but not unattractive. Better than the black in my book. So far, for my white bike, I like the idea of the VHT gloss white the best. That is unless I can pull together the RSD gargantuan level of effort to buff the frame, wheels, and incidentals. The blue bike looks very very good.
