Anyone know if Dan can do a powdercoat (or 2 pack paint) finish that looks like chrome?  :daumenhoch: :)

Yes
He has a very shiny silver that normally goes under a transparent colour to get candy effects

I think the only finish he hasn't done yet is tartan

Ed's right (and believe me that doesn't happen often  ;D ), it is a great finish but as soon as you clearcoat it (which it has to have) it turns into a bright silver rather than chrome.
