i think they actually dipped the panels in chrome, it's not paint. I went to a bike show last year where they had a fully chrome hayabusa and they dipped all the panels in chrome which added an extra 200lbs. It was cool, but i assume the ride is extremely hot.

Even if they made it.. It will still be illegal to use that paint on any car on the public roads.. Have you ever tried looking at a car which got a reflextive tint at mid-day  It's not really nice..
