I tool mine into work and needle gunned it then wire brush in the drill.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Answered your own question there I think. I used an anit corrosion primer matt black and then black gloss.

You could get it chromed. But you'd need to strip and rebuild it prolly.

the cars going to be fairly noticeable  considered a bright colour, yellow or something, maybe dayglo yellow... that or some other colour that
really contrasts to the body, whatever colour that ends up.
