or buy the black ones which are refered to as natural...unless you are an anal restorer you wont pick the difference from the drivers seat unless its pointed out to you..
they still have the nice fish scale effect but have a slight bit more shine and no green tinge.
as for buying a silver one and putting a translucent over it im not sure how succesful that would be..
what everyone calls silver is actually top of the line american chrome paint with a flattening base added to take off the chrome luster.
when the translucent ones were done the translucent greeny/black was painted straight over the chrome paint and no flattening base was added.
it was taking scott a week to paint 100 fascias in the translucent and they all had to be done in process together.

these fascias are sold by rares but not produced by rares...:Chin:
