Will powder coating a polished item give it a mirrored color look?

It's a chrome base with purple on top. The intake is one I had done for PurpleC4. His brakes are done in the same color.

JJ 86, I'd look into the potential problems powdercoating these stock valve covers........here's a thread from when I checked into it earlier this year It's interesting what the guy told me about the magnesium. And, here's a couple pics on how they turned out with a nice paint finish baked on. Either way you go, good luck:

If you powder coat polished metal instead of chrome what will the difference be? :confused:
