Oh Man, you are killing me. Chrome by far is the best color. Although I would really like to have a set of NightRunner black chrome wheels. IMO, chrome make a nice shiny truck really pop....

mine has been on for a little over a year now as well. i did my wheels, door spears, and grill. its held up great. no chips or anything. yes, it drys matte black. very easy to apply, you dont even need to try hard to get even coats. it smooths itself out pretty well.
