I just found these pictues in the 2004 Mercedes Benz calendar... never imagined that a chrome look paint job what look that good on a car...

how do you think it would look on a 4 gen F-body ? Would that be a very expensive paint job ?

I doubt it's a "paint job."
Check out this price list: http://www.santaanaplating.com/site/price_list.htm
My guess is something like this would cost everybit of $15,000+, and I think that is pretty conservative.

You have to consider something - this is for a lot of very big parts. That means a lot more prep work, etc.

I tried talking my dad into doing one of our project trucks in chrome...but he said it wouldn't look right. I got to show him these pictures now.

There - try that. Every picture in the entire calendar features a chrome Mercedes.

I'd think the chrome might flake once there is a chip and sort of spread. Not to mention the glare from the sun (on you and other drivers) seems dangerous. Then there is always the concern of getting dinged and redoing a whole part of the car. Definately looks amazing though.

That station wagon is such a gay car to do it to! I like it, thought!

You know - my guess is - that *could* just be a bunch of really slick black paint jobs that they have digitally touched up to look chrome. Can't say that's impossible...there are some really amazing digital imaging programs out there that would allow that.

Anything is possible these days with photoshopping!

The car looks great but I'd hate to be the SOB thats near the vehicle while the sun is out. Go from loving it to blind in a second...

def. has been touched up, as u cant even see the camera man.

Look between the grille and the driver side headlight on photo number 9.
It is isn't the camera man - but it is a person.

Plus the "Art In Progess" banner shows that they have tinkered as well - seeing as how it blends in with all the same colors, its just light.

It works if you drag and drop

Click on the link and hold down the mouse button then "drag" it up into the address bar (or the very top of the window). Try it out.


It does look awesome but wouldnt be very practical for the reasons that firebirdjosh allready said.
