This is getting interesting.

tctnd has some good info. Not that I am a pro but he sure seems to make sense.

Based on the link below you guys (cknaak and tctnd) are both a little bit off. Not that I know for sure how, but the bright dip appears to be a process, not a color. Maybe that is what Porsche uses?

Dig into this topic and I think you will find your answer.

Don't bother with powder coating. I was not impressed with how well the "chrome" powder coating stood up on my intake runners. Solvents (starting fluid looking for air leaks) beat on the finish. Not horribly, but some degradation of the shine over time.

Also, powder coating is more of a melted plastic than a chemical bond of metal.
