            I tried it, it looks like "highly" polished aluminum. About the closest I've tried so far. I put too much clear on the chevron piece in the pic so it dulled more than it should have. Better than most I'd say. I know what your'e looking for though, mee too.

              That looks like an amatuer job at polishing aluminum but is definetly the closest yet !!

                Prior to being clearcoated, the PBTP Ultimate Chrome is very close. After clearcoat however, it looks much more like polished aluminum.

                  I didn't realize Ultimate chrome had patent in it's name.
                  I have used Ultimate chrome.

                    Is the patented the same as the Ultimate? There is a cost difference in the 2 i know that.

                      I'm not sure. I, as I said didn't know about patent so after the link above showing it in the catalog I looked at the chromes page and patent Ultimate chrome is the only ultimate listed.

                        My bad, there is extreme chrome, and patented ultimate chrome. there is a cost difference between the 2 all the other companies only have the extreme chrome, and it doesnt really look all that chrome.
