Just got my trim painted!!! E90 is "de-chromed"

Well after having my car for almost a year I found the time to get my car to my body shop guy and get the chrome trim done, he did a wicked job, it looks like it came from the factory this way, sorry for the iphone pics, check it out.

And how dark is that tint?
