That has to be expensive, even without the gold included. To ge a good finish on the end results, the prep has to be mirror smooth. Lots of labor. I just wonder how long it takes from start to finish. would not want to get in a wreck in that.

I remember seeing a gold plated DMC-12 at one point. Was on the Wikipedia page for the car.

As for the Russians, the US calling them a mafia state is not too far of the mark. How else could so many afford crap like that.

It's amazing how the Italian and Russian mafia types have this bad taste in common. Perhaps as another poster suggested it's just a "hood rat" thing. I could really see the NY/NJ guidos doing this. I bet they are jealous that they didn't think of this first.

I don't think it looks nearly as bad as some of the folks here are making it seem. Though it sure is an awful lot of money to spend on a paint job (which is really all it is).

I might have ejeculated.... yes, confirmed.

Seriously though, that has to be a bitch to maintain, gold is really soft, every little rock that came off the road would fuck up the finish.

I'm gonna try to refrain from making a P&N type comment on this crap, but man it's gonna be hard.
