I saw this paint on a car program yesterday. The car was a BMW M3 hybrid with supercharger, turbo *and* nitro. Wicked.

Anyway the thing that made it look absolutely mean was the paint - a polished black basecoat covered with layers of silver nitrate and candy paint. The result looks more or less like bare metal. Here's a pic (hopefully):



I'd like to see a 05 in that dress.

I'm no chemist, but I am a silent film historian. Silver nitrate is what they made movies out of prior to 1950. It's simular in chemical composition to gunpowder. It is even capable of spontanious combustion. Films have been stored in cool, dry archive buildings and suddenly exploded killing dozens of people.

Is this what they're making your paint out of?

:flame2:

 

Its probably not made of silver nitrate just called that. Is candy apple red made from candied apples?

 

Has anyone actually looked at the colors Ford is pedalling on the new mustangs.
I personnally am rethinking spending $40k on a vehicle that has a limited and uninteresting choices. Mineral grey is BROWN, Silver is a plain GREY and I won't start on that Poof Blue or Sn_t Green.

 

I didn't realize the language filters block the word "snot" ?

 

K3druid = troll
What vehicle would you spend 40K on? Maybe you were buying 2 V6 Mustangs? That price would then be right.

 

Sorry; $40k is the (Guessed)Canadian price (Taxes in) of GT vert. loaded.
Dealer says June 05 for delivery.

I've always wanted a Mustang and the 05 looks really excellent, so, I'm trying real hard to justify a Summer car. Ford is not helping.

 

druid, sounds like Sonic Blue is a choice for you. There will be very few other cars in that color, except for other Mustangs...

 

If you can afford a $40,000 car... spend another 5 grand and get a custom paint job. Any color you want. What color were you wanting, by the way? I am curious. And on another note... mineral gray is not "brown", as you say. It has more of a copper tint, and is really a nice color if you see it on person. DOn't hate on my color... :nono:

 

Yes. You mean to tell me is not?



Man, next your going to tell me there's no Santa Claus.

 

It's probably Mirrachrome from Alsa corp..
I thought about getting my FFR Cobra painted with this stuff and it would look like a polished aluminum body. There are videos on their site that actually show the paint going on. They have some pretty neat products.

 

Wow I sure would hate to follow that mini van on a sunny day.

 

really...like sun coming off a huge piece of foil....can you say accident waiting to happen?

 

Whoa that's great! Who's gonna be the first to do that to an 05?! I'll volunteer mine! I can't believe I haven't seen an escalade painted with that yet. I should paint the lincoln with it! Anyone wanna contribute to the cause? PM Me!

 

What about a Mercedes?

 

Sure, chrome plate the whole car!

 

In a strange way I really do like it! Especially on the Benz. Someone has to do that to an 05 Mustang!

 

searching on their website I also found this. It's paint that reacts to heat like a mood ring! Too Cool! Perfect for those who just can't pick a color.
