Painting Car a Reflective Chrome/ALuminum?
Hey guys,
I want to paint my Vehicle a Very very Reflective silver.
I am wondering if it is illegal for the obvious reasons of Shine?
Let me give you an example of what I want to do. (this car is aluminum)
Those aluminum shiny milk trucks don't seem to have any problems.
Thanks in advance,
Eli

for reflective surface, see Audi AVUS
Audi made a car with a finish like that in the late 80's or early 90's.
If I recall, it was aluminum with a clear coat. Looked awesome from any angle.
I've never seen a painting technique that would rival this. However, I guess you could have your car chrome plated.

I can't seem to find it now, but a few months ago there were pics of a BMW M3 that had been painted with that type of paint. It was rather "interesting".
If I can find the link, I'll post it.

Yea, the shelby Gr1 pics I posted in this thread are an aluminum body, not Chrome plated.
Chrome plated would be extremely heavy. I already have a site that gives a good chrome paint for the job. http://alsacorp.com/chrome.htm (MirraChrome) Product
