Has anyone tried smoked chrome?

[SteveSpit]

Hi guys, I'm soon to be starting my restoration (least I hope I am), whilst I quite like the look of silver chrome I'm not sure how effective it's be on a white spit. So I've been considering having the bright work smoke chromed.

I was wondering if anyone else had done this, opinions and thoughts welcomed and pictures more than perfect.

Thanks guys

I read that as smoking chrome.



Nope, never tried smoking chrome :P

On a 1500 shape with matching wheels and black trim I think it'd look ok. On anything rounder it'd probably look like dirty old bumpers from a distance or like a modification which isn't in-keeping with the age of the car.

Matt Black can look quite good on a square tail car so smoked chrome would probably look good also.

question is do I go bumpers, mirrors, windcreen capping and fuel cap or just stick with the bumpers?
