Fantachrome Paint, Insta-Chrome
Chroming is an expensive industrial process that requires resources that are beyond most of our time, budgets and attention spans. But what if you could just spray a coat of chrome onto you favorite object? Now. You. Can.

Midlife,
This looks very interesting. However it also looks to be complicated and expensive to get started. I don't think actually doing this would be practical for individuals.
That said, I have sent an inquiry on how to get started. I think this would be a natural addition to our ability to offer the wood and CF finishes.
Thanks for the info. I will keep you posted on any progress...

Re: Insta-Bling! Fantachrome
I think it might not wear too well. It's water-based. That sounds very weird to me. None the less, I still find it terribly ugly.
They do have one product that might actually be useful for applications like our silver consoles. Their Ghostchrome finish might be just the thing if you ever had to repaint the entire console. Frankly, I can't imagine when that would be necessary.
Did you check out the Termocolor? It reacts to heat. Now if you painted your Crossfire with that you could certainly tell when someone leaned up against it and put their palm on the fender. Actually the have a gallery of pictures that include a small station-wagon pained with the Thremocolor. It's freaky looking.

OK, just got a response from Pier Carlo Biginelli

It seems that they supply solutions for McLaren Formula 1, Ferrari Formula 1, Ducati Corsa, etc. However they don't have anyone in the US yet.
I asked what it would take to get started thinking it might be a good addition to the CF coating we are doing. I will have to spend a minimum of 30K euros for special equipment and supplies to get started. Then I can "choose to visit the plant in Italy to attend application training or (this is quite the option) if you prefer we send you a CD showing all steps of application of products."
With that in mind, I am now taking any and all investment inquiries! LMAO.

I wonder how many times in a week you'd get pulled over if you chromed the whole exterior of your car?

30k for the equipment + training is not appealing at all... but I sure would pay a reasonable or even an unreasonable price for getting my car half chromed half carboned in a nice 2 tone style... but if their plant is in italy I don't see how this company can be at all useful to most crossfire owners... but the idea of a chrome covering for our parts is what many owners have been long dreaming about for things like door handles and such...
