    I had my rear coil over springs done, looks like exhaust coating, not really chrome.

    there is one that looks pretty good (closer to dull nickel) BUT 1 big problem, once you touch it it starts to go gray, basically its useless, if a clear pc is applied it looks worse than ****,all the shiny colors have aluminum oxides for reflection and they age like an old screen door

    very true-- i had my Honda chopper frame done & with in a couple day it started to change colors i should have taken pictures when it was first done,if you scan threw the shots you'll see some places it looks like it's black/real dark grey mainly back behind the exhaust & rear wheel::
