QUESTION!!! Chrome Paint... Or WHATEVER.. Read my quest...

So... Would it be possible for me to have the whole exterior of my car Chrome?

There are some jaguar and mercedes pictures going around on the internet... I was wondering if that was actual paint? If it is...

Is it legal? Or Illegal?

I'm sure its possible.... anythign is possible with enough of $.

About being legal or not....... I think that its too much bling and owuld be outlawed. I dont think even Master P or Bird Man from Cashmoney can handle so much bling

They were posted on threads, but no1 ever mentioned how much it would cost... Or If its even possible to do. Also that it may not be chrome but, polished aluminum.

Honestly, I doubt its street legal for the same reason mirror tint isnt street legal. Main prob with mirror tint is that it can reflect sunlight into the eyes of anotehr dirver and cause an accident.......... with a whole chrome paint job it would definatly not be street legal.

i thought tint was illegal because cops cant see inside your car, like if they stop you itt would be dangerous as you could be holding a weapon.

^ yes that is a reason, lol

only reason i can see why the chrome would be illegal is because of light reflecting off of it

i doubt that those cars are painted. and to chrome every body pannel cant be cheap.

i wouldnt want to do this tho...so hard to keep cleam and spotless.

that mirra chrome paint is cool. can it only be applied to clear plastic molds? it looks like they paint it from the inside so it looks clear on the outside. like the way mirrors are designed. if thats the case, probably not possible to do a car paint like that then.

Re: QUESTION!!! Chrome Paint... Or WHATEVER.. Read my quest...

Another thing about the chrome paint is that in california it cost too much to have that done, Im located in Odessa, Tx and I will be doing any exotic paint possible. I also visited West Coast Customs and the place is awesome and very humble like. My bodyshop hand went with me and he has 15 years experience so if anyone needs a collision or frame repair do not wait to call me. Thanks
