I'll admit its eye-catching...just getting a little tired of being inundated by outrageously shiny cars/parts.

Dont like the rig but the paint looks cool like a shiny new penny.

That would be very eye catching at night! But it would probably be painful in bright sunlight...

I have the system in my shop to do this. It is actually a catalized chrome plating with a topcoat. Pretty expensive deal for that rod.

cool!
a flame job (if its even possible for the process) would look killer over a primered rod.

Any more info on this painting process? That color is awesome. Looks like copper plating.

It is actually a catalized chrome plating. It was top coated with a translucent Kandy to get the orange color. Its pretty cool stuff, and pretty pricey to get done. Materials are pretty steep for it.

MHR- that Yanko Nova is a sweet car for not being a Pontiac. Did you restore that one?

You would have to do the chrome first then back mask and paint over top. Its almost impossible to do a chrome grafix over nice paint as its really messy.

MHR, would you be willing to give a ballpark $$$ number on just how "pricey?"
Like as in compared to a BC/CC with cut & buff, how much more would the catalyzed chrome with kandy tint deal cost on an A body size car? I think it looks awesome, would like to see some full size cars in other colors, including BLACK! Thanks

Not to sound like a prick, just saying is all. I recently purchased paint for my funny car, to the tune of $940. This was just for all the colors. I had already spent $500 for primer and fiberglass materials for the prepwork. The Viper Red alone was $182 per quart. From the way MHR describes the process, it sounds like they are chrome plating the sheetmetal. This is pricey in itself. Then they're painting a translucent color over it? Can you say "ca-ching ca-ching $$$"?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
