Stumbled upon this today while searching for a source for chrome rear lamps. May have been noted previously, but I didn't find it in a quick search of the forum. Sorry if a duplicate. Posted Nov 11, 2015: "Momo converted this Morgan 3 Wheeler to left hand drive and commissioned Insane Paint to coat it in Cosmichrome with blue transparent accents. You will be able to see Momo’s Chrome Morgan 3 Wheeler at the Los Angeles Car Show." Certainly the color scheme will not be to everyone's liking, but you have to admit it's striking :-), the paint (coating?) is truly something to behold!   Here is the link to the article and the company that did it (I have no relationship and don't know them at all): http://goldtouchinc.com/momos-chrome-morgan-3-wheeler/

I saw a car done in this chrome-like finish for the first time at the Philadelphia auto show a few weeks back - it was a chrome purple, but what a sight under the lights! Really jumped-out among some otherwise quite remarkable paint jobs. Color wasn't my cup of tea, but it sure looked amazing. It doesn't look like any paint color or finish I've ever seen before.

Truckin-on, there is a video somewhere of the paint process.
This involves a flame thrower!, and copious amounts of paint being sprayed on at the same time as the flame thrower is heating the paint as it is being applied.
Quite an eye opener.

It looks like the front wheels and mudguards come in any colour you like as long as it's black still, complete with plastic wheel hub centers, nice.

No, not yet. Any ideas? Melvyn Rutter is out of stock, with no ETA. Have an email out to another dealer in the UK but not heard back yet.
