what about the delorian (cant spell) it was polished stainless steel ?  :erm:

but the whole car was illegal here, dunno about it being to shiney something about a very heavy stainless steel car hitting a aluminum one... like a knife through a coke can.

the delorian was not coloured, I't was manufactured and sold without paint, It didnt shine like chrome however.

if you actually see a delorian they look really dull as its brushed stainless, looks rubbish really, would have been far better painted as that stainless is a pain to keep.
On the other hand my dad has a robin hood 2B and the outer body panels are stanless sheel with a plastic coating so its looks like a mirror..... and it looks wicked!
hang on i'll find a pic

I know a guy who has a chrome plated bike (hayabusa) it looks fantastic, even though on paper sounds hideous, cost him £2000 to do it the bike is so gleaming it hurts your eyes.
The bike is admired by traffic cops so if its illegal, summats amis.

wouldn't have said its illegal, bright, but not sure illegal.
too many illegals.

[Big Man]

Was the delorian not illegal because it was used to smuggle drugs? Sure I read that somewhere.

As for a chrome car i will ask at work tonight as i have no idea, common sense says yes as it would be like driving a miror in bright sunshine however common sense is not always applied in the law!

Fantachrome, while not really chrome, is a spray-on, water-based paint that adds a layer of metal to your object of choice (car, house, children) and is said to look and feel just like chrome. While the process requires prep work like laying proper base coats, Fantachrome will work on almost any material, including wood, metal, plaster, glass, plastic, fiberglass, ceramic, cement, polystyrene, clay and stone. You can essentially chrome anything—like King Midas Fast and the Furious edition
