From experience, it will probably start chipping anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

Yeah thats fairly common, not too many people like the chrome, it's rather out of place.

I agree, mine would have been painted ages ago, excepting I have to special order the paint for my car :mad: stupid Cabernet Red.

Plus there is a cute little crack in my oval and im sure its going to break soon. So im just putting it off till I get a new oval.
