yes its smoked/shadow chrome. They were done by the Cwmbran branch of the wheels specialist. VERY good job.
The wheels were in a bad way and had previously been "sprayed" they were badly oxidised and there was quite abit of curbing. They were chemically stripped and powder coated black gloss, then dusted with silver and powder coat laquered. I had them back in 2 days.....very pleased with the outcome. And it gave me just enought time to refurb the calipers.
In the photo's it hasnt been polished....just a wash. But I use autoglym radiant wax, super resin and extra gloss protection. I will be treating the car to a proper mop in the next few weeks as theres a few surface sratches i want to get out. So it should come up even better.
