JamesG Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 You could have your car chromed but get it really dirty for the MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 i was thinking the same thing as i think it would look the nuts for a show car...but someone told me that they wont allow you to drive it on the road! BUT i was on the motorway the other dayand i seen about 5 or 6 of those huge trucks that hold milk etc )the big roung things!) and the container was chrome or highly polished......so whats the difference then?

stt Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I read a magazine a few months back while waiting at a garage for some work to be done and there was a guy somewhere in the states that has had a BMW M3 painted in full chrome,the process is something else and the guy who painted it had to go on a course in Italy somewhere to learn how to paint it,Could be a damn good excuse for a holiday dude!

akallis Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 If anyone is interested in buying some of the chrome paint then pm me , i can get the proper shiny chrome paint direct from the inventor in America , its all to do with the way its applied!! This paint is a lot shinier than most on the market as i have tried a lot of them out as i may be spraying my car in gold chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
