Probably vinyl wrap. Looks like Rose Gold vinyl.

in the 1920's and 1930's some Rolls-Royce Bodies were made using Copper, in place of steel or aluminum.... but NOT today by anyone.. way to Costly.
and Heavier.

my non-professional opinion.

Metal or alloy kg/cu.m
steel - rolled 7850
aluminum - melted 2560 - 2640
copper 8930

Could have been done with a process like this using steel body panels.

If you had not said that you personally took the picture of the SUV as it drove right in front of you I would have thought oh BS it's just another photo shopped picture, but seeing as you personally took the picture, whats up with the dog ? It appears as if his head is sticking out thru the copper panel of the door, very impressive photography !

^ Thats what I was getting at! I really thought it was photoshop. Im wondering if the part of the dog that appears to come through the panel is actually a reflection?

Shaking my head at some of these comments, especially about the dog going through the panel. You know good and well nobody would use actual copper on a POS GM. It's either a wrap or copper colored paint. 99% chance it's a wrap.

Look what else you can do. A polished Delorean:

Youre shaking you head about the dog comment, I dont think you understand the internet. Anything can be done with photoshop and a lot of it is believable. We didnt say the dog was actually going through the panel like the picture suggests, we said that it looked like it and questioned if the photo was real or not.

Yep, the dog was sticking its head out the window. I've never seen a copper car before and took the snapshot.
I did appear very much like actual copper and not any kind of paint.. Not sure about a wrap.

There's a Mercedes driving around our town with the silver chrome wrap. It is the owner of the vehicle wrap company. Looks kinda freaky the first time you see it. I've seen it up close (waiting at a stoplight with it beside me) and it really does look like metal at first and second look. But it isn't.

I think the dog's neck is reflected in the upper door panel edge making it seem like it's coming through the door ... its just the angle of the reflection.
