I don't think they are actually chromed. I think this is paint. To be chromed the cars would have to be disassembled and each part chromed seperatelly. I also saw a picture of audi but this one was all aluminum and it looked like it was chromed it looked so cool too.

You are correct. It isn't chrome, it is paint.
Can't chrome plastic parts like the CL's Rear trunk lid and front fenders. Nor can you chrome the aluminum hood either.
After thinking about this, you couldn't chrome the bumpers as they are plastic as well.
The chrome color paint looks cool though.

Mercedes models in full chrome livery are a sight not to be missed.
The idea of the shining chrome was Dietmar Henneka's own.

How do you think they chrome the inside door handles?! Or tail lights and head lights?! They are plastic.

I seriously doubt it's paint. It's not as hard as you think to chrome a car like that. Think about it. Besides I have never seen paint that wil do that. And I've been in this business for almost 10 years.
