OK, I have painted my trims with sparkling silver powder paint.
I have chosen this approach because trims will last forever once power painted.
I've done this in
www.myalloys.co.uk and the cost for 5 trims was 120 pounds including VAT.
I have also refurbished 8 alloy wheels with them using the same sparkling silver color.
I'm very pleased the with result. I'll be removing lower door trims as well as wing trims
to paint them the same way. Power paint color is not as shiny as chrome -- it is kind of glittery.
All my lower trims including wheels will be the same glittery color. Those upper trims around windows
I'm changing to new original anodised aluminium ones from Audi and I'm also installing A6 C6
handles with chrome strip, so the car will have two "belts" of chrome. Lower belt including wheels --
sparkling silver powder paint and upper belt of classic shiny chrome including handles and chrome around windows.
The reason why I adopted this approach is because my lower trims were in much worse condition
than the trims around windows. A lot of things are going on at lower part of the car and it seems trim
just doesn't survive in those conditions.
Pictures! I decided to leave pictures without reducing their size for you to 'understand' texture of this paint.
