This was floating around on Reddit, and has made it to at least one other forum. I think it looks great, but if I had gone so far as to remove all the paint, I probably would have completely de-badged it.

 

I call B.S. That' is not polished aluminum. It's a vinyl wrap. I mean come on guys even the plastic parts are supposed to be polished aluminum? I don't think so. And you can see all the wrinkles in the wrap on the front bumper. Oh and that part is steel not aluminum.

 

I think that is actually a design in the front bumper. But yes certainly a wrap, the plastic wheel well moldings are not aluminum either.

 

That part could be a wrap; it looks like simulated diamond plate; not wrinkles. I'm not convinced on the rest of it, but I could be persuaded.

 

Other than the goofy emblem on the side and hood, I kind of like it.

 

The company is a graphics company too!

 

Yup. Looked around a little more. The company is "Global Graphic Installations". They are a certified 3M Preferred Graphics Installer. It's not clear if they are based in Fort Lauderdale or Santa Monica.

 

Regardless what it is, bet that thing is real fun in the sun........

 

Yeah I was thinking the same thing Rig. Also I doubt that for that very reason that the truck is street legal now. Considering that it could easily blind other drivers on the road with sun glare reflecting back into their eyes.

 

Only slightly different from a Delorean. I've seen a couple of Deloreans where they have polished them up (as opposed to the stock brushed look).

 

Based on that thought, a well polished Airstream would be illegal. So would chrome bumpers, the chrome package on these trucks, and any other reflective coating or glass.

Nope, no law.

 

This reminds me of when Darrell Waltrip drove a chrome race car back in the 90's.

 

This one?

 

No, with bumpers and accessories and the like there is enough in a large enough of an area for that to cause a major problem. But I did hear that this very issue is the reason that vehicles like the Delorean were finished with a brushed machined finish. The same for the aluminum tailgate appliques that were so popular on trucks back in the 80's and 90's. As far as Airstreams are concerned did you ever notice that they aren't really very polished when new. And again I don't know how true this is, but I was told along time ago that they have a special coating on those trailers to minimize harmful sun glare to other drivers on the highway.

 

That's the one. I always liked that paint scheme.
