I saw that supra at totbv as well. Had a rainbow effect laquer on it too but very subtle It did look ok but i think the point of chrome is to stand out from other bits i.e. have something to contrast again. I got a chromed coilpack cover and cam covers on my 33GTR but thats it wouldnt chrome the whole engine bay as it needs some darker areas to contrast against and draw attention to the engine, IMHO. But hey we are all human and different!

I head the same thing that it was illegal for road use due to dazzling other drivers.. probably even if it was dark LOL!. The paint isnt too expensive at £43 + vat per litre compared with some flip paints. ITs actaully rage chrome if anyone interested have a look at these links on the paint and how to prep it, which by the way is where the time and cost come in.
