I don't think anyone on here has created or owns a chrome painted car and yes I do believe it's expensive.

Your best bet if you need info on this would be to post in the bodywork and detailing section of the site.

A quick Google search returned this company.

im sure some of the crome cars are just those vinal wrap things which are apparently not such bad value

however im sure i read somewhere that a totally chromed car is illegal on the road because you can blind everyone with the reflection

can you get the reflex type flip paint also ?

Not quite chrome, i believe its Jean Todts

Out of interest, which law makes it illegal?

I’ve seen this companies products up close, and some of the bizarre effects they produce are truly amazing (although our application wasn’t for cars).

However, they are in the states, and getting certain paints shipped is problematic, liable to form filling for importing, and no doubt some environmental tax excuses thrown in for good measure.

There is probably a UK supplier, or at least a company providing very similar products.

Im sure i've read someplace that its not legal in this country either. However, there are lots of different versions of this paint. Its not all full on chrome. So I expect some will be legal. Like the Ferrari pictured above. I know paint is available to give a polished aluminium effect. And from the samples ive seen, its very effective and good looking too. But with all the differing varieties of this "metal" paint, im sure it must be hard to draw the line at what is legal or not.

Whatever, I quite like it when done right Certainly makes a change from the chromaflair flip paint.

P,

Thats polished aluminium rather than paint I believe.

The first A8 show car was also polished.

As was the Avus.

What famous M3?
