Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

I just saw the news about Justin Bieber being chased by the papparatzii. Then I noticed his Chromed out Karma vehicle. It looks sweet. But how do you guys think a chromed 3rd gen Camaro would look like? Ya or Na?
Here is the chromed Fisker Karma so that you can get a general idea of the chromed car...

I think itd be kind of cool if it were done right and not half A**ed. Itd look like the Tron car West Coast Customs made.

Imagine that! A decked out 100% all Chrome 3rd Gen. That would be pretty unique. But Im sure there will be a lot of negative responses too.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

wouldn't do it. Just too flashy for me. Plus the fact that driving that thing during the day would literally blind anyone looking at it. Kinda a jerk move, but I guess it's one way to keep em from riding your ***! lol

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

I don't like anything that has anything to do with bieber, But I don't like Chromed out cars in general imo he ruined a perfectly black fisker karma by chroming it out if anythin he did it so that his would be the only car in town and the papparazzi would know where he was and where to find him

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

Wow, bad Karma, IMO. And good luck for JB avoiding the paparazzi when driving that car. I'll bet it can be seen from outer space.

Not sure I'd do the chrome thing. A flower wallpaper maybe, but chrome, no way!

Yeah I never want a chrome car. A 3rd gen is not near a bling car so that IMO would look even worse.

Here is the chromed Fisker Karma so that you can get a general idea of the chromed car...
He's such an assclown.

Here's another one of his ridiculously silly vehicles.

I would have gladly taken that fisker karma just like it was black on black if it meant saving it from the mirror effect. Bieber only does it for the attention.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

Isn't that why we all wanna fix and paint our 3rd gens, for the attention? Only difference is is Bieber can do what ever he wants, when ever he wants. Jealousy can never be avoided. Same goes for being envious and being a so called "hater". If I had money, I'd have a few 1986 IROC's. One chromed, one strictly OEM stock, and the 3rd a dragster. Ccchheeoouuu!!!

Comp for lack of talent? Oh no. That kid has talent. Your just jealous. Now enough of the Biebes. Back to the topic of chroming, if you would.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

I'd rather listen to britney spears talk all day than 1 of biebers songs.
Ok now back to the topic




I'd never Chrome any one of my cars. I'd paint it silver or have parts chrome like the steel bumpers on a '69 '70 or '73 firebird but nothin that shouldn't be.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

I think it would look silly for a few reasons.

I think an all chrome car is tacky like bling.
I think painting every surface on a car the same color is boring.
I think it would look out of place on a 20+ year old car.
It would also be really distracting to other drivers.

But that's just what I think.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

How the hell do you drive it? The glare off the hood is probably horrible! I think if you're going to waste money painting a car chrome, you might as well have it dipped in gold.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

I didn't buy my car for attention, nor do I want to fix it up for that reason. I bought it because I like it and I am fixing it up so it looks how I want it to, and what I what I want to see everyday.

Edit: I managed to find a way to make the quote not work. This is a reply to "Isn't that why we all wanna fix and paint our 3rd gens, for the attention? Only difference is is Bieber can do what ever he wants, when ever he wants. Jealousy can never be avoided. Same goes for being envious and being a so called "hater".

Chrome would look really tacky TBH. It just screams "Look at me, I drive a $50,000 mirror!"

I try not to hate Beiber, but his ego just grows and grows. That chrome Karma is case in point. I watched an episode of Inside West Coast Customs and actually caught the episode of them making the CTS for Beiber. I have to admit I like the car, but I would prefer gloss black instead of satin. Beiber was an absolute FOOL. He said 'dope', 'yo', and 'bro' about 15 times in 5 minutes looking over the car. He wants to be black so bad it's not even funny!

I think he is just trying to compensate for what he lacks below the belt. He is obviously a girl.

I try not to hate Beiber, but his ego just grows and grows. That chrome Karma is case in point. I watched an episode of Inside West Coast Customs and actually caught the episode of them making the CTS for Beiber. I have to admit I like the car, but I would prefer gloss black instead of satin. Beiber was an absolute FOOL. He said 'dope', 'yo', and 'bro' about 15 times in 5 minutes looking over the car. He wants to be black so bad it's not even funny!

Same goes to Eminem.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

I've seen a technique that uses a spray which does chrome and I've seen chrome plating. Gonna checkout your link in a bit.

Well, usually you use some air, some paint, and a surface.

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

Just making sure. Sounded like you thought it was real chrome. (which I do) along with all the other coatings.

To be honost with you, I really did think that it was chrome plated as in a dipping tank. You know how these rich people are. They usually go to extraordinary lengths that makes the average person say "why would you do that".

Re: Ideas about a all chrome Camaro

You guys do realize its not really Chrome paint right ? It's Vinyl wrap. They have any color you want most commonly used for wheels. But also for cars.
