Anyone thought about getting their car CHROMED?

I have seen it done to a Supra. They actually managed to paint the thing chrome. The thing looked like a mirror on wheels. It actually was sweet looking. Anyone heard or seen this done to anything else?

Here's some of the pics I managed to find of the Supra. IMO it looks friggin sweet! It probably isn't street legal.

Mercedes developed a chrome paint about two years ago. They made a calender of the cars they painted. Looked sick on some of the models. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a chrome car during sun rise or sunset.

Being the paint color nerd I am, I can tell ya, there probably isn't a Camaro that's been painted chrome because I haven't seen one. But Alsa is the best place to get chrome paint, for sure. It isn't chrome plating, it is chrome paint:


The rapper 50 Cent had his Lamborghini Murcielago painted chrome by Alsa.
