    I was looking for something similar for my vt's inner door handles and gear knob but had no luck, in the end i used a aerosol plastic primer, aerosol Holden Quicksilver and an aerosol clear coat to go over the top. it cost me $30, all available from autobarn, supercheap, ect. looked pretty good in the end too, just a little shiner than real satin chrome. just to be sure test it on something first to make sure it does it for you .

    Supposed to be.
    All it is, is the way the colour is formulated. If you want that colour take a peice of trim into somewhere that makes aerosol cans to order and ask for it.

    As I said, all it is, is Matte Silver of some discription.
