there is no way it is authentic chrome over plastic chrome plating is a combo of coper nickel then chrome chemicaly bonded to metal. the stuff that is on plastic is not the same altho it looks like it. as for powder coating a body yes it is possible and no it will not wave sheetmetal not that hot. they powder coated project f-bomb (the flat green second gen camaro in hot-rod) but they only used it as a primer for the metal not the finished project. so yes u can powder coat a car just no reason to

The top chrome layers are. They have to coat it in something else before the nickel and copper layers, but the end result is the same. A friend had his plastic overflow and washer fluid tanks on his GN chromed and it turned out awesome. They were heavy as hell when done though.
