Thumbs up My glove box aplication choice

With all the discussion of how to do the glove box door...paint it the same as the dash, look hi and low for a textured one...wood grain, chrome, ect.... I decided to take my chrome one (thanks again PIERCE) and paint the inner portion black while retaining the chrome edging.
I placed good heavy duct tape all along the edge of it to cover what I wanted to keep shiney, and then tossed it into the sand blaster since we all know paint won't stick to chrome tooo long. (at least, not if you want it to stick)
Once I blasted it for a few min, I blew it off and smothered it in high gloss black paint.
What do y'all think? I think it's pretty much awsome. It ballances out the whole dash being that looks much like the guage bezel. Kinda semetrical.
All I need now is one of them $50 chrome ash trays, and a chrome radio delete (if they even exist) plate to do the same to.
