So I am almost finished with my 5 speed swap and the next thing on my list is to address the paint. My question is what would I need to do to make all the chrome on my Q black chrome? I am planning on respraying the car black and the wheels as well. And I thought it would different if it had black chrome trim. Is this something as simple as getting dupicolor or would I need a special paint or something. Also wanted to get your guys opinion on the idea.

I know some parts stores offer a black chrome paint kit: Dupli-Color Shadow.

Black chrome is applied electrostatically. It is not inexpensive.

Just a personal opinion, but flack wheels especially on a black car is way played out.

Thanks for the link looks like that is the route I will be taking, I will be sure to post pics as soon as it is done. I still dont know what I am planning on doing with the wheels I think it would look nice with the wheels painted to match the car with a white AVS logo and my Z32 brales black with the nissan logo painted white, but the white they are now is a limited edition color so I am stuck on what to do and to top that off I need to find someone skilled enough to replicate the logo cause either way they need to be painted
