there is a local guy here building a bmw like that. It will be at sema this year so you will probably see it....there are pics on maxbimmer.com somewhere.

Re: Chrome Paint Job

there is a chrome paint now available that looks almost exactly like that.... but it's not cheap. it runs $1200/gallon.

Re: Chrome Paint Job

Actually I've seen a paint job like that on a civic in Texas. It shines just like that, and it's expensive as hell. It was featured in an import car magazine I read ( yes I read them. they have good tech articles, and good interior pics.) The guy said that it was a ton of high gloss black coats that were wet sanded on every coat, then covered with a candy color (forgot exactly what color it was), but it allowed the black to show through, and that's what gave it the chrome look. I think it would look incredible on any f-body. If it looks as good as it does on that rice, it should look stellar on a Camaro or a Firebird IMO.

Re: Chrome Paint Job

no prob. go to paints and additives and look under the examples at the bottom. they got a older mustang done in the paint. looks good but terrible wheels.

Re: Chrome Paint Job

am I the only one that thinks chrome is best in small doses???

Too much chrome can be just as bad as fake scoops, ugly wings, and horrifying ricer body panels + lime green paint.

Now... a chrome/metallic red or black can be nice. I'm particular to black myself, that might be something to look into.
