Is There A Way To Make Our Cars Look Like This?
This car does not have a chrome finish nor paint work. It's actually an unpainted A8. It's to showcase the Tecnological advances in the Aluminum that's used in A8. Is there a way to make our cars look like this?

If the body was aluminum you can polish it like the Audi. This is a car to show off their aluminum. I don't think everything on it is aluminum.
For our cars, you'd have to strip, prepare the metal and chrome plate all the doors and fenders. They can plate plastic but the bumpers are big pieces. The rear fenders, roof, and chassis parts could not be plated unless you could remove them and install them without welds. All this for ????
Extreme expense and I'm sure it would be illegal on the street...

There is a paint that goes on like chrome. It costs $9k a quart just for the paint, then you need a painter that knows how to apply it, It's a five stage process and no.. it does not look like the cheap spray can chrome.
