Raven Chrome aka black chrome
Anyone know how much more difficult this is to get done than say just an average chrome job..or better yet if it can even be done aftermarket?

Most any plating shop that does bright chrome can also do black chrome..but it is more expensive.
What are you looking to get done?

I would love to have a set of the new Z06 rims or even my current z06 rims black chromed. Anyone know a reputable shop in the chicago land area capable of doing this?

A local wheel place can do black chrome. It's not chrome plating per se, it's actually just paint.

I talked to a powder coater and he said he could do my wheels in black chrome.
