I though chrome can only be put on a metal surface? . The front bumper,side and rear is not?
It's just a chrome effect, this is actually a paint that was applied on this R34. I already saw this kind of paint to be applied on a motorcycle helmet. Two things is sure this paint is rare and costs a lot.
Any idea where to get it from ?? :idea: I got some idea's :idea:

I am sure this would be illegal in Germany, can you imagine how that car would reflect the sun light during the day. Its lime mobile mirror.

I read previous posts. There was nothing about photoshop :roll:
That car was photoshopped to have that chrome finish. The car was originally black in that picture.

^^^^This pictures gives the impression to be much more photoshoped. ^

The car is chrome paint: black effects on different angle. I already had a black car , it is like a mirror. Look on the door of my Skyline's you can see some reflections of cars.

Your Skyline pix on the other hand: Nothing. :roll:
