Looks like it's basically like that "MirraChrome" paint you can buy.  (It ain't cheap either.) 


I expect to see more of that in the future on 'glass front bumpers.

I think the trend these days is black is the new chrome. Interesting stuff though.

i would expect the ricers and blingers to be all over that....
this is a crossfire i think -



in the right hands it could be very useful for the dash facias, light housings inside door pad bases and such, but, in the wrong hands,.. well...

If this takes hold, it's gonna eventually be like faux woodgrain or faux carbon fiber --  A little goes a LOOOONG way. 


And then we'll probably see a bunch of cars where they wretchedly overdo it for a while too. 

(In car-magazine speak, the term is "groundbreaking" or "trendsetting" or "different" when someone wretchedly overdoes a trend that's already a decade old.)
