All chrome makes it look like a Match Box Toy.

Wow...

I like my red Z with a (soon to be) fully polished engine, but....

Imagine if I had my whole car painted like that with chrome wheels and the hood open showing the polished engine. Damn.

I knew you would be along

Judging from what you've accomplished, I was sure this would get your attention

Reminds me a lot of the Shelby GR 1

That was for the kit that includes 3 cans for the system. It's $39 a can. Still not cheap.

I bought a set of the 3 cans and didnt have a chance to use it for a little over a year and when I did the chrome came out as a watery mess with very little chrome. Called ALSA Corp and they would not replace it as it was over a year old. There were no warnings about shelf life and I did shake the can for 20 min as I knew it had sat for a while. Just my $.02

8-litre, 16-cylinder motor with two-stage supercharging, 800/1000 AWD-HP, 920/1000 TQ. "in the neighborhood" of $1.8million. Dang!
But it's nice .

That's a shame. It would be nice to hear the results with the spray cans.
