No worries, Mike, lol. It's your car anyway. I think it looks good.
I found this powder coat after seeing the red translucent wheels posted in the wheel gallery

I ordered a pound of it to do my aluminum dash panel. I think it will turn out nice. You might find that it will give you the look you're after, too. You don't have to do a silver or chrome coating first if you're putting it on a bright metal base. You could also take their suggestion and try a different base color/coat all together and create a unique look.
