Depending on the shop. Most "Chrome" shops plate more than just chrome and may be able to help you out. If not they could probably lead you in the right direction. Once again - looks great!!

Earlier I mentioned zinc washed - but meant cad plated.

Cant the bumpers be nickel plated like Kenny did on the Camaro?

I remember a blue 70 (?) Chevelle at SEMA last year that had that done to all the trim...looked killer!!

Any info you guys can get me on that would help. I will call a plating shop I've used tomorrow to study it out. That would be ideal. I just looked up Kenny D's camaro. Thats EXACTLY what I want. And here I thought I was being creative

Wow. Everything looks great. I too prefer the industrial/satin theme everywhere!

Looks awesome. I loved the car before, but I like it better now. I am wanting to do a brushed look on all my trim also. Great job!

I like the rest but would leave the bumpers chrome if it was mine.

Very nice.. good way to make it "your car"

Love what you did with the engine bay...

Oh, and I'm happy to see that you didn't "cheap out" on the fire extinguisher.. if you ever have to use it you'll be glad you didn't bargain shop.
