Default chrome paint ???

Has anyone seen the new chrome paint. I believe i saw it on either rides or overhaulin last week. They said it was pretty new and just displayed at sema. They just painted some sort of base coat and then the chrome and dried it with an air hose, took like 20 sec and it looked like real chrome. The best part is this was on plastic. they said that they could crome anything, and any material.

If only it was that simple. The stuff you saw on the show was a new product put out by the alsa corp but to be able to even paint the stuff you have to have the system and right setup which will run you a cool 30 grand. Even when you do have the right system there are so many other things that have to happen to come out with a good looking product. You definately have to know what you are doing. Also the time that it takes to make a piece is not 20 seconds...that is just normal tv fooling the average person. The piece that the guy picked up, well, was ruined as soon as he touched it. Definately some cool stuff just be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for it.
