Quite nice

Marky_GTSt · 24th September 2006, 08:30 PM

Blimey, How much would something like that cost ?

Jim27 · 24th September 2006, 08:46 PM

Alot but most of the cost is in the prep as the bodywork really does have to be as smooth as glass. IIRC this is actually black paint with an immensley shiny 'chrome' lacquer. Immense road presence

jamesbilluk · 24th September 2006, 08:49 PM

that crazy that, bet it woluld look awsome in the flesh / metal.

R33_GTS-t · 24th September 2006, 08:52 PM

Like a T1000 GTR. Does it reform after crashes?

Are Motorex still going - see front lip?

Big Sev · 24th September 2006, 08:54 PM

Sure i've seen that pic somewhere before... Looks mental, wouldn't wanna drive aound in that on a sunny day!

I reckon you're right about the process unless the bumper and skirts are made of metal...

No, they look absolute crap in the flesh/metal, a really bad finish, (I've seen a few chrome jobs now, all of which I'd paint over if it was mine).

Yes its a black primer, which needs to be totally perfect, then a chrome laquer type material over the top.

that pic has been on here a couple of times before, and IIRC it is actually a photochop...a very good photochop

Nah motorex been out of business for a long time

its actually illegal to have a car painted with chrome effect such as the GTR above. Apparenly it acts like a mirror and the reflection would put off other drivers. My mate wanted to spray his car in the same effect but was told otherwise!

whoflungdung · 24th September 2006, 11:09 PM

this was at totbv

not my cup-o-tea

when u look close up you can see all the marks etc(you cant see on camera)

great if it is stored in a room and never used, very impractical

going for the Starwars look i guess :P dont like it, i bet the cops with laser guns love that, no need to pick special spots, like the plates, just aim anywhere haha :P

i remember reading about a chrome m3 and the cost of the paint was something like £10000+

ADAM M · 25th September 2006, 12:28 PM

There was a post i think on here a while ago about 50 cent, he had a lambo painted in chrome too. Looked sh1t in my opinion but when you have that much money i suppose its just being different.

Nah, it's a Klingon cloaking device surely - Starplod won't see it coming, just a piece of fast moving scenery
