is this paint or anodizing or ??
I was wondering about the gold/bronze on some of the engine bay parts and the wheels. Any info on that particular car or the method used to create the finish is appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong section, I couldnt tell if it was paint that was used.

its copper plating? the wheels too? They almost look red on the lip, I wonder if thats the lighting or if it was done that way.

the suby looks like it has JLINE wheels, you can buy the wheels like that. As for as plating, i would say look in your yellow pages or go thru a lowrider magazine for some dealers/shops.

you can pm him, his handle is mr pho king. But again, im pretty sure all you need to do is go thru your yellow book & find a plating shop.
