That would require an amazing attention to detail in prep! I wouldn't want it (a little too reflective for my taste), but it's pretty cool. I could definately see using it for badging or some other accent application.

Looks almost copper...like a highly polished penny. I can only imagine the prep work to make that paint look like that mirror smooth. Incredible!!!!

Seems like it wouldn't be legal as the sun would shine off it like it was a giant mirror.

That is amazing! I agree on the show car only, I would be afraid of anyone touching it. It would show fingerprints and scratches pretty easy I would think.
