I hadn't really though about silver, I think that might look good.

I know the Duplicolor Spray Chrome or Bumper Chrome comes the closest to looking like real chrome of anything else I've ever used. I used to have some pics of when I did the wheels on The Missus'* van with that stuff. Looked really good, for about 6 to 8 months. Lost that chrome look after that (go figure, huh?) but still a nice silver color

Well, if you go red, then you'll have to do a White "R" on it...

Make sure the corresponding letter is on your trunk lid, too... right under the Double Decker Wing.
