Hello. Yes it is very very brilliant reflective and real. It's insane in the sunlight. Sorry everyone, that is the only pictures available. We started on that 1997 maxima but the vehicle was sold off immediately before we could take anymore snapshots. The chrome paint is sold in all sorts of different sizes. It would take about a half gallon(minimum) to coat a vehicle of that size. The mercedes that some of you have seen before is now a realistic option. If the DOT has any problems then just ask them why a delorean was street legal? I'd suggest adding tint to your clearcoat to make the coating a little more tame.

Is this what people use to make "hyper-chrome" wheels? If so, you can buy some paint and make alot of money on ebay lol. But seriously, real chrome rims weigh a ton cause of the plating, but this may be a different path in terms of having lightweight chrome wheels. just an idea.
Id like to "chrome" my old school NES system. hehe

Sorry for posting so much so quickly, but would you be able to mix the paint with different tints and such to creat wicked candy coats? If you could use the chrome paint and then apply some candy midnight blue or candy whatever it would look insane. lates

Yeah im not planning on doing the entire car or anything like that one, but misc parts like PR cai piping and some other goodies under the hoodies. If I did buy it in bulk and it turned out ok, I might be able to "spray for pay" on parts for people, of course before that I need to fix the sprayer, and clean it out and find a clean enviroment to do it. Its an idea though.

1) Deloreans were made of stainless steel. They had almost no reflectivness at all. If you've ever seen on in person, a regular mild steel painted car today has more reflection.
2) Even if the Delorean was made out of a mirror, laws DO change. They haven't made Deloreans in a long time, about 15 years, and DOT changes laws every single year.

You could create some of the wildest effects unavailable with conventional paints. You can control how thick you want the chrome which will give it all sorts of metal looks. A yellow dye added to the clear top coat would create a gold look. a very light amount of black dye would give you a gunmetal or black chrome effect. The possibilities are endless. At night the chrome car was very misterious looking. It had a strange dark chrome look. When the sun came up the effect was insane. I couldn't believe the brightness. Many people do make a living chrome plating parts with the paint. Some have even coated motorcycles which drastically increased the value.

As I understand it, real chrome= 100%
the 2 sites say different things.
one said 80-90%
and the other said 90-95%
just curious...
80%-95% is a pretty big difference.

Well a Delorean was not chrome after all it was brushed (not polished) stainless steel if I recall. You can see an all aluminum bodied Jag at the autoshows it's completely non painted and has been buffed but still no where near the reflectivity of a chrome body. Man I think that you could blind someone in the right sunlight conditions lol. Certainly would look bling bling.

I'm not suggesting that everyone should chrome paint their car. I'm just showing that this technology does work. It's not trick photography.
