Pretty impressive. Not my cup, but more power to em for being different.





Personally, I like the new MB paint technology coming out soon .

I believe there was also an article with a guy doing the same thing to an mercedes a while back. The entire process costed more than the price of his car.



Wonder if anybody can have lockheed/northrope plate it with the radar absorbtion material instead.

there is such a thing as chrome paint.. most likely it. it would be just stupid to make it out of polished aluminum

 

[atticdog]

if the body panels are polished the plastic pieces could have been chromed

 

[imported_howareb]

They addressed how the plastic pieces were made.

It' s just a polished aluminum body. No big deal.



It might be a first, but I don't dig it.



German cars and chrome rims should be a no - no. Forget about the whole car being chromed...

i think it looks awesome

 

[imported_hadboosttroy]

it's paint, some guy did the same thing to a widebody m3. BMW DID NOT do that to the m3, it was someones personal car. ugly as sin. search for it on bimmerforums, it will tell you about the paint process.

I don' t know what kind of people could ever fancy such a turn off. (Do I hear "Arabs" ? Oh yeah those were the ones to drive solid-golden radiator grille Caddilacs and Rolls' s no ?) Oil richness makes you do incredibly tasteless things. See the Texan oil king Caddilacs for example: those horns and ugly accessories put on to ruin that elegance...



That car is coated with chrome-alloy with a special electrolysis process; which is from what I read in a newspaper article.



Yes, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Opel (actually tuning garages using those platforms) did these for tasteless eccentrics. (When you are poor and do weird things, you are called "lunatic" and get your poor a$$ locked into some madhouse. But if you are rich, there is no limit to what weird things you can do and you are followed by admirers and get called "eccentric", you get aired in the 6 o'clock news ith a long commentary... So unfair ain' t it ??)

Now that the link to the actual shop that did it has been posted, quoted, posted though another source and then posted again, how many people are going to chime in and say "I can't believe they painted / chromed / dipped in silver that car!". These photos have been going around for months and months now. The car is polished aluminum, the plastic parts were painted with chrome-effect paint. 'Nuf said! :wall
