We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

To get shadow chrome the Wheel is usually powder coated black and the silver flicked over the top to get the depth of colour.

I think shadow chrome is starting to age. My current car had them back in 2013 (with a previous owner) I thought it looked good back then but not so keen now.

I was thinking Shadow Chrome might look good on my Silver Grey car when I had the wheels refurbed, but went off the idea when the place doing them said they couldn't guarantee matching it if a wheel got a scuff.
Coupes because stunning!
