Well i work for Rude Ride Customs were trying to get our small shop advertise I own a 04 rx8 since the rx8 has lots of curves and lines were thinking chrome paint job wont look that bad ive seen a few jobs done in chrome just wanted a few feedback any comments would be gladly appreciated

 

isn't chrome a B*tch to keep clean and free of scratches? I saw a chrome mercedes at the LA auto show one time and that thing was nice but it was filled with scratches.

anyway... I am not a big fan of chrome, but I do think it would look pretty sick.

 

i havent seen to many chrome paint jobs - but with all the curves and stuff the RX8 has I don't think it would come out that nice.

Definetly unique though - I'd stop and look at one but I wouldnt ever pay to have that done to my car.

 

[B]well the only thing i would have to pay for is the paint wich runs about a grand for the whole car including door jams an trunk and hood all prep and paint will be done by us

 

50 cent chrome painted his lambo murcielago..but im not a fan of chrome paint either..

 

^Yeah me too.

 

Not a fan

 

rx8 would look great in chrome but it's not practical for anything but a show car.

 

were not trying to do more chrome jobs is just that we want to get the attention and get our name out there we usually do more flame jobs, two tone we think it will turn heads automatically

 

If you are doing it only for promotional purposes, then go for it. But remember it's still your car, so after the promoting is over, you'll have a chrome car.

 

The NFS Underground RX-8 that they use at shows has the chrome paint job on the veilside kit.

So its already been done.
I suggest a very nice polished silver/gunmetal color. IMO, that would look much better than chrome.

Something like this...


LOL!! <-- randomly promoting my own rims.

-hS

 

Oh Mclaren, i forgot who this was. Waddup Man.

Which shop do you work for?

-hS

 

I only think that some parts on the car should be chrome. But I really wouldn't go for a car that painted entirely chrome. But, I guess it's good if you are trying to get your name out there.

 

that NFS underground police car looks tacky. i think a full chrome 8 with a kit... other than the veilside... would look a lot better. anyways, to continue what i was saying earlier, if you show it, then would be alright, but as a daily driver... uggh, too much weight and too much easy to mess up.

 

will be still be street legal after painted?

that BMW wasnt "street legal" becaus eof the chrom paint..... it reflects too much and will distract other road users..... hence illegal

 

not my cup of tea

heres the rx8 an my 3000gt

 

I have seen our 8 in Crome with and without Mazdaspeed skirt in Game "Need For Speed - most wanted" before. it looks realistic and its way cool than colours we have now.

 

Uncle Ben would say thats too ricey.

 

wow... he has the chromed wheels to go with his future chrome paint job... awesome

 

that's gonna glare like a mo fo

 

Wasn't that RX7 at sevenstock painted chrome?

 

The chrome police rx8 looks nice.. it would look better if the hood and trunk was black, instead carbon fiber.
