It used to be the case that when you had a custom car build, you had to take all the plastics off, sand it, re-prime it, apply a coat of paint, buff, apply another and so on. What’s more, only the super-rich could afford the chrome paint and other exotic finishes.
Now though, things have changed with the arrival of vinyl wraps, which allow you to make your big sedan or SUV look like a gold bar or a carbon fiber menace. The same goes for one of the most interesting finishes out the - the brushed metallic look, which mimics the way light bounces off aluminum, but comes with a colored tint.
With one of their latest projects, DBX has created a blue steal brushed aluminum look for the Mercedes Benz G-Class, in this case a V8-powered G500. The body is covered by a 3M wrap, while the wheels are powder coated in gloss black.
