NotStock88 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 i love this comment listed below the video LOL. -Great trick photography to make it look like he was spraying something. Amazing what they can do with computers to trick people.Likely a non-existant product...just a big joke!!!!!Jay...or whoever looks after the website, if the guy with the product is an actor and this is a joke, time to take it down so its a non-existant product yet you just ordered it LOL -- SOOOO FAKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

button Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I wanted that for the bottom side of my hood, but I couldn't find anything like that. So I settled for the "chrome in a can" junk. which is silver paint basically. looks like an awesome alternative to chroming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 My only question is will it stand up to underhood temps or will the heat kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMNDSTAR87 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 ALSA paint mfg makes a chrome paint that is fantastic but the heat is an issue and will degrage in gloss after some time.They also make some heat sensitive paint that changes color with temps.Pretty cool stuff check em out.gig out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natallica Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've seen this product work several times (Ryan and the crew did an entire Audi R8 on West Coast Customs "Tron Legacy") and I also sawit used on some Jay Leno car enthusiast show as well. Amazing stuff and yes...it does work! But the temps would concern me as well. WTH, it's worth a shot. -N8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoloStarion Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think that R8 is wrapped in vinyl and not painted. I could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) The west cost A8 was done by a professional chroming company and if I am not mistaken a chrome car is illegal so it is for show purposes only as it was done for Monster Cable.

Burton Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 It is not a vinyl wrap, but actually sprayed on. The process is really quite interesting, and takes a true professional to get it right, since the stuff is so hard to do. The R8 was actually done for the movie Tron Legacy, but the owner of Monster Cable (who is a big car guy and customer of West Coast Customs), offered up his car to be the basis of the Tron build. If y'all had the Velocity Channel, you'd already know this. If you don't, get it. I think it's the best TV channel ever created. http://megatunados.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi-R8-Tron-by-West-Coast-Customs_5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am still amazed watching the videos of that process on youtube and such. I looked into the startup costs of those systems and got sticker shocked badly, lol.

One of my customers was interested in financially backing me to start up something like this....until I told him how much it cost LOL. To be honest, I'm not sure I would have wanted to even if he did want to spend that kind of coin. I'm not sure I'm THAT talented LOL. Even after startup costs and training, you know you're gonna blow thousands of dollars in re-work getting enough practice to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_99 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 LOL I need to $20ish K to get the systems also, but thanks Jerry. If I happen upon a truckload of money your car is first in line for the full chrome treatment. BC_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
