Here are the methods to blacken the chrome trim on a car: In terms of process: 1. Use spray painting for modification, but it tends to fade over time and can damage the brightness of the chrome, reducing the car's aesthetic appeal. 2. Use vinyl wrapping for modification, which is more stable and can be easily removed when you want to restore the original look. In terms of approach: 1. Blackening by disassembly is more thorough and less likely to peel during later use, but the disassembly process is more complicated. If not done properly, it may cause damage to the parts. 2. Use adhesive without disassembly. Simply apply black vinyl wrap to all chrome parts of the vehicle, and no additional procedures are required after application.

Is it okay to park an automatic transmission car in neutral?

Parking an automatic transmission car in neutral is not recommended as it constitutes coasting in neutral. Here is an introduction to coasting in neutral: 1. Introduction to coasting in neutral: During vehicle operation, the driver places the gear shift lever in the neutral position, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and relies on the vehicle's inertia to move. 2. Hazards of coasting in neutral: It damages the braking system and endangers personal safety. When coasting in neutral, the "internal braking" effect is lost because the engine and transmission are disconnected. If the vehicle in front stops suddenly when the distance between two cars is short, and the rear car is coasting in neutral, the rear car can only rely entirely on the wheel braking system, making rear-end collisions highly likely.
