Hi,
I currently have a set of HSV VZ R8 19" wheels in shadow chrome and I'm looking to have them refinished. I am located in the United States and its been difficult to locate a shop familiar with the shadow chrome paint process. I've been searching the Internet high and low to find real information on how the HSV/ROH wheels were originally painted, but cannot find a factual source. Does anyone have real experience with the factory HSV shadow chrome paint process? Is it a 3-step or 5-step process? Does it involve powder coating, paint or clear coating? Do the wheels get baked at any point in the process? Do paint codes (i.e. 1EJNB) exist for any of the steps?
Thank you for any info!
