Chrome SL 600 Renntech TT!?

Wow, pretty amazing car. Only $329.5k lol

Mercedes Benz (RENNtech) SL600 V12 Bi-Turbo 2004 $329,500 Chrome with Oyster and carbon fiber interior. This is the premier Mercedes RENNtech roadster... Catch looks from everyone and get the results off the line that are normally reserved for non-street-legal vehicles. This machine takes it to another level.

It's not real chrome. Its a special (i.e. expensive) paint process that looks like chrome.

Ahhhh...R U sure???? the reason I question your answer is.... I asked my body shop if (Owners a good friend of mine) they could paint my grill to match chrome look, he said "No way can't be done, gotta get it dipped" So if you know something about this "Expensive paint proces" please elaborate, I and I'm sure others would love to get it done to a few trim pieces on our cars...

There's this place in New Westminister, British, Columbia, about 30 mins from Vancouver, that does custom paints like that. www.trickfactory.com

Your body shop obviously isn't up-to-date on the latest technology. Check out the link houston posted. This technology has been around a couple of years.
