      Hi guys,

      Just wondering if anyone has some good links to be able to create chrome like you see on old cars, almost mirror like feel.

      Just like what is on this website.  http://www.lewishamilton.com/ see the nice shiney circle in the middle, I love the look of that.

      Any help would be great

          The thing you want to keep in mind is that chrome creates a mirror like reflection. To recreate that, you need to decide what the chrome is reflecting and how that reflection is distorted by the shape of the object. In the case of the logo you linked to, the reflection is, appropriately, a tree lined roadway with a zoom blur to imply speed.

           

          In general, a chrome is depicted in illustrations by using a light blue on the top as if reflecting sky and brown or green on the bottom with a dark gradient to define the space.
