Wow, that is pure chemical insanity. I'd seriously freak if people looked at it wrong if it were on my car.

I was going to paint a dude's Escalade in Mirrachrome for 15,000 with the jambs and underhood a few years back when it came out, that copper would be another layer on top of that. Whoever owns that copper car is either doing it themself, or paying a shitload...

It looks just like the old hotwheels colors, only much more shine. Does the base just look chrome?

that's not HOK. It's Alsa Corp.'s "Mirrachrome" top coated with an orange candy then clear coated. it's HOT though. What makes it look nice is the hundreds of hours that surely went into the prep work.

This guy is right. Alsa corp makes some of the trickest paint around. They even have glow in the dark paint, lol. Check out their website.
