The Road Warrior Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Audi A8 in SILVER made for an Arab. IT'S NOT SILVER PAINT............IT'S SOLID SILVER!!!!!........apparently. Looks awesome, what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 what do you guys think? I think this "real silver" myth has got to stop until someone provides evidence to support it. It's the second time I've seen this now and I still say it's 'just' one of the fancy new chrome paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 http://www.mtm-online.de/en/highlights_audi_a8d3_poliert.html "In Dubai the mtm Audi A8 polished was the eye-catcher. The car was analysed and in many studies the enamel varnish of the aluminium car body was removed. Furthermore the car was cleaned. After that, the car body was poslihed with fine abrasive paper as well as special polishes to high gloss. The blank dress must not have any defects, because of the fact that retouching was not possible. Finaly the car was protected with special clear varnish against enivornmental impacts. Because of the fact that it is impossible to polish plastic parts like front- and rearspoiler, mirror house, side sillboard or also fuel tank cap, they were enameled in a complex way to get a chrom effect. Finaly they were polished with clear varnish" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Surely real silver but weigh far too much to be practical. Even the arabs couldnt suply the petrol to push a solid silver car. I agree with Mike that it must be the chrome paint, could finish to it although wouldnt like to pass it on a very sunny day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 The A8 body is made of aluminium, which polishes up quite nicely. I've seen a Land Rover like it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 wouldnt this kind of car be road illegal due to reflections from other lights and sun etc...? Looks the bollox though - I think I saw a skylne once with a similiar paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
