Uh, if you didn't read the auction, what exactly tells you it isn't paint?

PS: In the auction it says it is paint. Could you imagine a 'gold' or 'copper' reflective paint like that on an SVX? It would look sex!

Oh. 50 cent's chrome lambo is for sale? The paint is a product of ALSA corp. They have all KINDS of weird ****. Like, paint that changes colors when you touch it, glow in the dark paint, paint that has a spectral effect (Think CD)

The even have fabrics, veneers, ect. You can buy that chrome paint in a spray can for like 40 bucks (Instant s4 grille anyone?

Link to their site. I originally stumbled on this stuff when browsing the back ads in a Popular Science magazine (You know the type: Build a helicopter in your shed for 100$! and whatnot)

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, it's $1200 a gallon. :| Maybe I'll ask them if they have any in gallons with botched labels, for a discount of $100 a gallon. That stuff is awesome though.

It will cost a lot to paint. How many galloons does it need to paint the size of an SVX? Can't believe how shiny/bright it's going to be under the sun!

I actually talked to my wife about this a while back. Was thinking I'd like to do something like that on an XT6. I thought it would be illegal to do based on reflections of cars/environment off of the paint and the sun. A really good chrome paint job could be a major distraction on the roadways.

On the other hand, a car with chrome paint and chrome rims = **Rolling Sex**

With chrome paint you'd need an absolutely PERFECT body or else you would see everything no matter how small of a dent it is
