[QUOTE=Perfectlap;376076]Nope. I had them painted in a custom color similar to what you find on the BMW M3 chrome shadow. The actual process is one where you powder coat black first as a base layer. Then a thin layer of the silver chrome/metallic from some Italian company ( Color D.E.C.). Finish with the clear coat. My finish is a little less chromy, and more metallicky.
I was on my second repaint of the factory Carreras and thought the stock silver was just too plain for the cost of repainting.
Did they paint the center caps??
