What glass can have the appearance of chrome when fired?

[nenas]

I’m trying to make a glass panel with our ’32 Ford Coupe car depicted. The car itself is black but has lots of chrome accessories, including the wheels. Can you suggest what glass I could use for these chrome accessories? Would smooth silver dichroic on black work? I would appreciate any suggestions you can give me. Thanks.

I recently purchased some red on silver dichro slide.

(To my disappointment…) when fired it is mostly silver and actually a little bluish. It would work nicely for chrome, and would be extremely easy to get intricate shapes if you need them.

Thanks, Dana. I’ll give the dichro a try. It sounds like what I’m looking for.

Bullseye steel blue changes color when fired, it gets a metalic look to it but I have always had problems cutting small pieces, for me at least it likes to do it’s own thing.
