shiny car parts

chrome-trim_bgBefore, I never had any idea how to call the shiny parts of the car until I ran across chrome accessories. Chrome is a slang word for chromium, which is a kind of metal. It provides a classy contrast on any area especially to vehicles. It is one of the reasons why most vehicle sparkle that is of course aside from the body paints.

However, it is not easy to tell chrome from any other shiny finishes if the parts are not placed side by side. Accordingly, chrome is a more reflective (brighter), bluer (less pale, grayish, or yellowish), and more specular (the reflection is deeper, less distorted, more like a mirror) than other finishes. It is being said that in chrome you can see clearly the reflection of the sky.

Hmmm, I’ll keep this in mind so that I will not get fooled especially that we are planning to buy a car probably next year. This would definitely help me in it.
