Default powder coating question

do they make a chrome powder coat? if so does it have the shine you would want on your wheels?

they make clear powder coat that you can put over polished wheels, looks about as good as chrome.

i dont think theres a powder that will look as good as real chrome wheels, but i could be wrong on that.

chrome powder is very realistic until you clearcoat it, which you MUST do or it will not hold up. the clear dulls it out. its still rather relfective and very attractive but its not like real chrome i'm afraid. there are pics on my website in my gallery of chrome powder parts.
