The anti-matte paint: Chrome

[mikebai1990]

From Autoblog. Do I see a hint of orange peel?

 

[LastDetail]

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!

Yet another.

 

[Tasty]

Wow, that's just not good for anybody...

Is that actually chrome, or just chrome paint? I've seen similar chrome paints done in other colors like gold. Looked ugly.

It's chrome paint, check out the orange peel.

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.

Wasnt the Delorean actually stainless steel?

Wasnt the Delorean actually stainless steel?

yes, and I have seen one that was fully polished!

it looked a little better than that fake chrome

 

[CelicaLover]

wowzers I wonder how you would polish that out.

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.

I thought I'd toss this one in just for a little contrast. :geez

I came across this one last week outside the pet store.

NO, he didn't.....he just said that he thought that if you were going to use a car to build a time machine, he at least thought he should pick something with "some style." He never mentioned that he did it b/c of the Stainless Steel panels!

I think we need a little more ..

The enamel varnish of the aluminum body was removed, then lots of polishing. It was Accumulator's whip until he sold it to a Dubai Sheikh.

Can you imagine what this thing must weigh when it's wet??? I was thinking pressure washer, but you'd be better off using an extractor to take that water load off the suspension!



Wonder if you could sell him on a spray wax? LOL

YES, he did... he said in the very next line "besides... the stainless steel construction made the flux dispersion" (interrupted by ticking watch)
