Yah it's the angle and lens. I shot the first one from about 300 feet away with my 70-300mm lens. I shot the second (closer shot) from about a foot away with my 18-70mm lens.

I also took pics of mine, it's a less complete write-up but might be of interest nevertheless:

Mine was a rattle can job. We purchased Krylon Fusion paint as that stuff chemically adheres to plastic. We did 3 or 4 coats and it's been almost a year. It's holding up great, no flaking at all *knock on wood*

I was looking at that Krylon Fusion Paint from Advanced Auto earlier today. I just wasnt sure, if i could use it or not. What color did you go with, Gloss or Flat black???

yea im spray painting my stainless steel CAMARO inserts black chrome just need to find the time. I wet sanded with 400 grit but youre supposed to do 600 and i didnt use a primer cause spray paint has an adhesive in it that sticks. So there is no need to prime

ok, i got some 400 and 1000 grit wet sanding paper but all the black krylon fusion paint i could find was gloss and i'm looking for semi-gloss. i'll try lowes tomorrow. and black chrome inserts should look real good.
