I was interested in maybe having my entire car or just the panels painted Mirra chrome. But the question is what paint shop do you guys recommend who can do it.
Also any one know maybe how much it would cost.
Below I attached some othere vehicles done in Mirra Chrome.
All I can say is "Damn!" That bike and smart are HOT!! But what about sun reflection blinding other motorists which could cause accidents? Be careful and bump up your liability coverage. Thanks, Regina

You should contact the people who make the paint. http://www.alsacorp.com/
ask them if they have any recommended sprayers in your area.
Also check your road laws as in most countries it is illegal to have a chrome car as it distracts other drivers and reflects headlights and blinds people who are driving behind you at night.
Well im building a Show car so I would not be driving the car on public roads alot. When I do it will be at night or not so sunny days.
I will try and contact Alsa corp.
I was hoping there was a place closer to Florida other than California because of shipping cost to send out my panels to have them done.

Any body shop can apply the paint. Asla is custom paint supplier. It is, or at least was, tricky to do. You have to use the correct clear or it will dull the chrome effect.
Another thought, it sure would be cool to go to one of those desert tracks and have one of those chrome bikes conduct a time qualifying round just to see it glimer on the horizon. It would be like the rider is riding a bolt of lighting if the sun hit it just right.
hi...
theres a number of outfits that apply a chrome-like coating to plastic panels. (this process was a spray-on system). i tried it a few times (one shop in wi, the other in ca) and the results were mixed. both outfits did a nice job in the looks department....however, if you are expecting a durable finish...you will be dissapointed. it easily chipped and once chipped, it would peel.
my experience was: this may be the hot set-up for prototypes or show vehicles but not for everyday use.
