I've got a plan in mind for my Camaro and I am looking around for certain parts to see if my plan might be possible. I wanted to know if anyone knew of anyone selling the following items in Black Chrome.

Hood strut
Trunk struts
Dip Stick
Brake Reservoir Cover
Fuse Box Cover
Under Hood Panel Kit
SS Badges (just like the ones on the back)
GMPP GFX kit exhaust trim
Bowtie badge that is the same as the stock one on the back

Thanks in advance for any input.

Black Chrome Plating:
Black chrome is usually plated over bright nickel or matte nickel in the same manner as decorative chrome. Black chrome is not quite as hard or wear resistant as normal nickel/chrome and it is not lustrous. The finish may be waxed or oiled to improve the final appearance. It is also used for optical components, gun sights and components, lighting and plumbing fixtures and some automotive parts usually wheels.

Scratches and dulls really easy. Usually Gloss Black paint clear coated is your best bet. I have always been amazed at how durable it is and how good Krylon exterior black looks when clear coated.

Thanks for the reply and information. Will have to look further into the option of gloss black painting.

Not black but billet - I've had great success with Billet Custom - perhaps they could powder coat - http://www.billetcustom.com/store/ca...arts-c-78.html
