Someone here on this forum just did a week ago but I don't remember the thread name .... anyone who remembers it? The guy had a rudy red early c-4 vert somewhere between 85-90 years he said he had a great experience with "Cleaning_out_the_garage". I have been watching ZR-1 rims on Ebay for a while and the only seller I don't like is "moore...." (I don't remember his full screen name).

I put Black Chrome in the search engine and it bears out what Painter Man said about it not being as hard as regular chrome, but with a little TLC it should hold up OK, like powder coating.
