That's wild. :o I'd like to see that in "real life". I wonder if it's legal? That has to be an obstruction when light hits it. Very cool though. Time to put those mad painting skills to work and paint the pissed off Sunfire. ;)

a friend of mine said that it was illegal to paint your car a reflective colour..

Not that hard? How do you figure that? I bet that paint is as hard as a candy to spray and just as particular.

Anyways you guys are right, I'm sure its probably illegal but that doestn disregard that its sick as hell.

Chrome is added by electroplating chomolly onto the metal in a bath, they prob had to just strip off all the paint and just plate all the body panels. Im shure they had to make replacement chromed metal parts to replace the plastic ones to complete that look.

That sure is some shiny paint. I would love that car, but maybe in a regular silver? It's a little to bright for my taste. I would have to see it in person I guess.

You can't chrome plate a polyurethane bumper. Chrome is an electroplating process for metal, not plastic

No matter how you look at it, you just can't fade black primer. Nothing will ever top it. ;)

You can chrome plastic with the right process but it comes off if flexed to much. Dr boost will remember the chrome plastic from the splitfire/ procircut kx's
