I will say its definitely wild stuff and its eye candy on a show car but for something in the street I can only see alot of cursing if you catch a chip or have a slight fender bender...... I mean can it be blended for body repairs or is it a Horror show.

I will however bet my last dollar some young kid will pop up with it on a Navigator or Escalade, along with the spinner rims and 13 t.v. monitors screaming "Bling Bling" . Can't wait for the first ricer that does it because I can use the laugh when they put all those stickers on it.

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

I am thinking the chrome materials alone is in the $3500+ area. If you add the body work and labor it takes to do this chrome process, add the tint over top, if you notice, the top of the truck along with the firewall arent painted yet either, Im assuming they are doing a solid on that part, I wouldnt be suprised if there was 15K in it when its finished. I couldnt do a estimate on that large of a item, I have done bumpers and small parts so far. These plow lights we did with a Kandy over top of crystal fx the give a different effects
