There is more than one way to get this finish. There are actually cars with chrome FX applied, which is a process (just like the lambo above) http://www.alsacorp.com/products/chr...x_prodinfo.htm


Then there is mirra chrome paint, that is painted on like regular paint like the Supra >

 

There is a company who makes paint that looks like 100% real chrome and is sprayed on at like 230 degrees. They did it on pimp my ride a few episodes back. Its also highly illegal in all 50 states to do this.

 

That looks like a video game. WAY to much contrast.

 

you guys forgot the "chrome" a8 that belongs to the son of one of the rich oil farm owners in dubai...

 

personal opinion... I FRIGGIN LOVE IT!!

here's a link to the Mercedes Calendar

I'd love to see a 1st gen done up in chrome... that would look AWESOME!

 

How much does it cost compared to painting a car a regular color? Why hasn't this been done to an F-body?

 

Probably many thousands of dollars. Why? see last answer.

 

i wonder what it would cost to paint my 68 like that......if it was under 10k, I'd seriously think about it

 

To have any car painted anything proffesionally it will cost you a good $6-8k on average. You could probably get it done at Maaco or something cheep for half of that.

I know the Supra has been running around in Hawaii for over a year now and never got pulled over for his paint. Not saying I know its legal, but I don't know that its not either.

I don't honestly see if the paint is just a different color paint why it would cost anymore than a regular paint job would. I'm talking about the Mirra Chrome Supra, not the alsacorp stuff.

 

there were a bunch of chrome trucks during one of the halftime shows at the superbowl a few years back.

 

Actually I think that might be an HDR photo.

 

Well, since we're adding cars... The Ford Shelby GR-1 was made out of aluminum, polished, and then I believe it was clearcoated.


There are some diecast Camaros in chrome...

 

i got quoted 16-20K for chroming my camaro

 

everything is illegal in CA.

 

Wow, you would think they would have painted the hood to complete the job.
