Hey guys,

I understand painting a vehicle in a chrome color is a potential hazard to others on the road, especially on a sunny day

Is this actually stated to be illegal though?

I have seen cars with a highly reflective shiny silver coating. And am interested in painting my truck this way too.

Let me show you an example:





Except a little more reflective than that. I swear I have seen a lexus driving around the way I described it.

 

ummm you better start saving your pennie's that will cost more than all of our trucks...lol..

 

but you have to admit it will look good.

I'm going to go with:

where it isnt actually chrome so it doesn't weight a world and a half.

 

I thought about that, but never new if it was available...I bet that would be awesome.

 

I don't know if there illegal. Ever follow a stainless steel milk truck on a sunny day? What would be the difference?

 

I like the way you reason

That's a good argument


A good sign:

If you can't see me in my mirrors, I can't see you. (great bumper sticker.. Chromed out of course)

Well I'm going to make some calls, and post in here what Info I get on it. *seriously attempting this*

 

Probably get a few more "fingers" flying at ya on a sunny day.

 

Probably.

Too bad the only person seeing the "fingers" is the person giving them in my side door panel.

 

Here is the new Shelby GR-1 Concept Car. Notice the aluminum body.

Here in Texas the cops are generally pretty cool about underbody lighting in the big cities but if they want to they can cite you for damn near anything.

State law: If any activity or addition distracts fellow drivers, said driver is considered a distraction and nuisance on the road.
(and it's at their discretion what constitutes a distraction)
Like I said: stay out of Texas the troopers would have a field day with you.

For a track vehicle or show car though that sounds absolutely awesome...but then again I feel bad for you thinking about all that cleaning.
