ive heard it called neo-chrome. Although, there might be more names for it.

I believe it might be speedstar's aurora coating, or at least something very similar to it. Here's the site:

and some examples:





They're very popular with the Honda community.

Oh yeah... Don't expect to get this done to an Evo anytime soon though. Here's a quote from the company:

When we did that particular cover it was our version 1.0 method, which was
only semi-hardened (so not as durable)

we are now using a new 2.0 method which last and holds up much better cuz
its fully hardened.

the problem is, Evo covers (except the EvoX) is magnesium and we can't do
that material now....

we are trying to work around it so I'll keep u posted.

thx,

RocketmanX can you post or pm me the info on that company who did your VC...
also roughly what it cost.. I see the aurora coating is about $500 just for the coating on a VC! ~ not cheap!!
