Yeah, it was a guy in CA but I'm not going to say who... I dont like to bash companies on forums but if their work is poor I want to get other peoples opinion and I can send him this link.

No, not matte black at all. He simply painted a translucent paint over top of the chrome without any sanding. That's why the "shinyness" still comes through from the original chrome. Just a poor paint application.

And just for reference, my previous lights were painted black chrome on the housing, it's a couple shades lighter than your "black chrome", but absolutely no over sprayed or paint runs when done by a PROFESSIONAL who stands behind his work.
