Re: The anti-matte paint: Chrome
I actually just threw up in my mouth a little bit. That is one of the most awful things I have ever seen done to a car, and I watched Pimp My Ride for an entire season!

Re: The anti-matte paint: Chrome
Is that actually chrome, or just chrome paint? I've seen similar chrome paints done in other colors like gold. Looked ugly.

Re: The anti-matte paint: Chrome
If you think the OP is bad you should have seen the swirling in the paint when the BMW was at SEMA!

Looks like an accidental love child of Pimp My Ride + Back to the Future.

Re: The anti-matte paint: Chrome
Doc explained in the first movie why he chose the Delorean. The stainless panels were requred to handle a side effect of time travel- intense cold.
