Is it true that the this does not work on 97 year trucks? I've heard that it has different paint or it was baked on or something like that. Has anyone done this to a 97??

ON 97's and some 98's it's just black under the black paint. I replaced my tailgate and it came off of a 98 and I couldn't make it chrome because of the black under the paint.
