I don't know if any of you seen this, wow I was blown away. BLING BLING
I can't belive there is people out there that consider this COOL.

 

That's just the rust proof coating, he will have a good looking car after he paints it.........Tedd

 

Put some 15 inch SS1 wheels and some proper looking stripes and I would drive the heck out of that.

 

Another nice Oldsmobile ruined. I hope like heck it was not a real 442 and W30. As Forrest Gump said, "stupid is as stupid does". This is just stupid. Somebody spent a lot of drug money on this one.

 

Ever see the stainless steel F_rds of the 1930s and '40s?

They would stamp a few out of stainless when they were done with the dies, and send them around for publicity shots.

Pretty darned cool.

It's a great base for a candy color coat!

I had never heard of or seen these before. So very cool!
Thanks for the pics!

 

Be careful. I got an admin warning on here for calling that culture stupid. The pantywaists....they are among us.

 

What kind of paint is that? You can't chrome plate a fiberglass hood right? The paint might be cool on a smaller level for old trim peices that are not available or plastic dash peices.

 

At the end of the day this guy is as crazy about his car as we are about ours.

 

There needs to be a NSFW warning due to the "MUSIC" they have on in the background.

 

I saw that '36 Ford yesterday at a car show in Sioux Falls, SD. It was originally a soft satin finish but was polished to a mirror finish by the previous owner from Arizona. The stainless panels were made by Ford for Allehheny Ludlum steel, the supplier of their stainless trim as promotional vehicles. They made 6 cars.

 

Just seeing 22" wheels on these classic muscle cars is enough to make me hurl....

 

I saw that warning and it was issued due to racial reference given within, not from just calling it 'stupid'.
We have members of many different races and each one is welcomed. They should not have to worry about being profiled by other members.
So who might the 'pantywaists' be?

 

Thanks Rob. I may be more outspoken that I should once in a while but I am sensitive to race. My comment was and never will be racial. If somebody wants to call my car stupid, fine. It is their opinion and they are entitled to it.

 

I suspect it to be a wrap not actual chrome plating,imo it ruins the car,Donk=junk

 

That's probably the chrome effects paint. There is actually a process for paint to look chrome. I work for lexus and we re finish wheels in the body shop and what looks like chrome wheels are actually painted.

 

I had a response typed out, but realized it would probably get me another warning or worse. If you'd like to know what actually went on, you can PM me.

 

I think that's just body wrap..either way I would two tone it with some tire rubber on the back quarters..

 

I don't think you can get a reflective finish with a wrap imho.

If you pause the video when he is walking around you can see orange peel. Not something you normally get with a wrap.

 

That chrome paint is made by Alsa Corporation and is available in a three coat system, in spray cans for $129.00 a Kit (3 cans and a polishing cloth) Larry

 

There is a few makers. We spray Sherwin Williams in our body shop and still cant seem to get it right so we sneaked in some other big major paint companies system that has been tried and trued . A lot of new wheels from car makers like lexus, Chrysler, Nissan have that chrome effect paint on their wheels.

 

For that price wonder how well it would work on pot metal trim ?



I thought it was a wrap kinda cool it's paint even tho it's not my liking but it's also not my car

 

I recall seeing an episode of one of the "builder" shows a couple years ago where they painted an entire Audi with some kind of chrome paint process. Very touchy, but their results were flawless (no orange peel). They had to spray it on a single panel at a time (don't recall the number of stages) and then water rinse it off within a few minute window.

 

They outsourced that cutlass to a company called metrowrapz.. More wrap from same companyhttp://acewhips.blogspot.com/2013/12/chrome-wrapped-ford-thunderbird-on-28.html

 

Wow I don't know how the hell you can get a reflective wrap like that. That's actually pretty crazy. Kinda takes the wow factor away from the painted chrome. My only thing is I wonder how the pulled off the door jambs and all of the inner areas. I know most wraps don't go into those areas and it can be a real pain to get them to settle right into those areas.

 

I hear ya on the "Saturn Gold".....I have seen your car before on the web, in fact it was an inspiration for me to return my car to its original color. I am the third owner of this 1972 Cutlass "S" Oldsmobile, the original owners had it painted "Teal". Your olds is great looking.

I believe the paint is called Spectra Chrome, they have a video on applying it. Its pretty cool!

 

The late Harley Earl is probably looking down from above thinking "I wish I could have built that car"......


Roger.

 

Probably not.
