Took the R8 to the lookout to celebrate the gun metal shadow chrome refinish, I still love the original EOM design even after all these years!

I love the gunmetal, had it on my 91 red nsx and love it.
Nice job!

that looks real nice, my car is lava gray so I think that look would be sharp- who would you suggest for this work? a powder coating shop? thanks

Proper shadow chrome is actually spayed on using a very precise air pressure and pattern with the alloy pre-heated to a specific temperature to ensure an even spread of metallic particles, blend and drying. It has a black base and it takes a specialist with proper oven and spray room to get the desired 'chrome' effect. You cant achieve the same high quality shadow chrome look using powder coating!
