Looks nice, but that's gotta be blinding in direct sunlight.

man would that car blend in with the background until about 50 feet away. Why yellow cars are not good, you can see em a mile away. I often wondered if a nice looking camo job could be done to a car. Not in leaf pattern but to blend in with the road type patters. a speckled array of colors.

but reflecting your soundings is even easier.

That is just too sweet. How in the heck did they get a chrome paint to look so good? That can **** last about 2 mins then turns grey.

not any harder then any other paint....i'm working with some of their red right now to try and incorporate it into my paint. works really well on small parts but i'm not sure about something so large.

posted this very thing several months ago with a navigator and a few smaller items. in their candy chrome. interesting products that company makes. i do think a full car with it would be blinding but it would be interesting. i also like their soft textured paint. do a search on their and look for the dustbuster painted green with the soft texture. it's amazing how it works as well, i haven't been able to get it to lay flat on our interior surface just yet.

I saw an episode of "rides" tonight about fords new Cobra, and one of the old Cobras they showed a couple of times appeared to have that same paint. It was very cool. I thought of this kind of thing years ago in highschool as well, glad to finally see someone did it...
