I think he is talking about a ceramic coating. Very hard and often used to do low friction applications.

Looks good! Whats the cost of PVD vs Chrome? Can you PVD over plastic or fiberglass? ie.. side covers?

THE PVD SET-UP ON THE WHEELS IS ALL DONE WITH ROBOTICS. SO AS OF NOW
NO ON THE SIDE COVERS BUT YES EVENTUALLY. PRICING IS ABOUT THE SAME,
BUT YOU GET A 4 YEAR WARRANTY. THIS IS WHAT ALL THE CAR MANUFACTURERS
ARE GOING TO BECAUSE ITS ALSO ECO FRIENDLY. THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO CHROME
THE SIDE COVERS WHEN THEY ARE PLASTIC. THROUGH CONVENTIONAL PLATING OR
VACUUM METALIZING. A STANDARD SIDE COVER YOUR LOOKING AROUND $125.00 EACH
