New Paint Job!

so i paint cars at a dealership and work has slowed down so i decided im going to paint an all over on my car. its silver now. i had been talking about laying out a extra fine silver giving it a polished aluminum/titanium look that way i wouldnt have to go back and cut in all the parts. also to get rid of that soft freakin paint. or i was considering going all chrome... with alsacorps mirra chrome extremly hard to spray amazing finish if done right although highly expensive like $800 for a gallon base only. what do you guys think? open minded was also looking at some of the nissan blue's lighter then the midnight blue. oh and also intend on blacking out the hood roof and decklid with either black chrome or candy/metalic black.

I would love to see that alsacorps mirra chrome on a G35.

Mine is silver and I really wanted a Blue G35 but the silver looks futuristic.
I guess it grew on me.

Have any picture examples of this paint finish?

Woa saw some examples on google Video, there was a BMW done in that, it looks really bad. way to flashy. I think it would look great fro small parts but not a whole car.

Maybe an imron paint job would be better

i think the chrome finish looks amazing on high end cars (like the lamborghini posted above) but would look a little "ricey" on a g35

i say go for that polished aluminum look

There's somebody here with a candy red that looked pretty good too, but I don't remember who it was.

post pics!!


also id go with a nice cobalt blue, that color is simply amazing and will look good with the c/f hood decklid or blacking out or w/e your gonna do.

not chevy cobalt blue... but the blue they painted on that mustang in the Kobalt tools commercial.
