This post was straight sarcasm I would never consider doing this, But the sounds of screeching cars and squeels of "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" on a sunny day is very amusing.

I would guess it is paint, but I really don't know for sure. I have seen some custom paint on bikes that I could not believe was not actually polished medal.

Anyway, I once saw a high polished aluminum Shelby cobra. Pretty cool. The salesman said it was just for display purposes because a car would not stay like that without continually polishing it. I will post a pick if I still have it.

It would if you put clearcoat over the bare metal.

What a great concept -- painting a plastic car to look like it is made of metal. That would really keep them guessing!!

I asked them that and I honestly don't remember why they said it would not work. (I don't know if it would change the color or not adhere properly) I also asked if waxing it would work, but they didn't think so. (Ok, so I'm a bundle on knowledge on this one!)

Anyway, I'll post the pick tonight. It is really cool in person!!

Here is the Shelby Cobra version. Pics don't do it justice!!! When you see it in person, it looks like a mirror. Very cool!!
