Message	It's called "Chrome Shadow," and the EPA won't allow it to be imported into the U.S. due to toxins (or something along those lines.) It's made by an Italian company named Color-Dec, and you can see their page on it (in Italian) at http://www.color-dec.it/mj_cromo.htm. BMW only put it on their M3 CSL Concept Car for shows. However, there is a BMW color called Sterling Gray that is very close to it, minus some of the unobtainable reflectiveness... ///jrb
