Wow, I remember that blazer from a four wheeler magazine from like 15 years ago I think. It was in a small clip at a show.

Oh, and if anyone wants to stamp out stainless everything for these trucks please do. ;D

I always wondered what that would look like, I'd love to drive it just to blind everybody all around me with the glare. I think you found a "color" that would top black on needing perfect bodywork.

^ Yes!! can't have a single ding in that paint job.

I might be wrong, but for some reason I seem to recall as a kid seeing a stainless steel Corvette prototype / one off thing???

No Sir you are not wrong with that thought! You're thinking about John Delorean's Version of the Mid-Engined Astro/Aero Vette Concepts, before he left GM to build his Deloreans......
Here is John's Version

Previous Versions of the Early Seventies Models were Aluminum Proposals, with this one being the only Stainless Steel Design.....

That chrome Blazer is interesting... I remember seeing some chrome Chevy trucks built for the Olympics in Atlanta. They were plain-jane, stripped long beds with chrome bodies, built to haul mobile spotlights in the bed during the opening and closing ceremonies.

I remember someone that was there at the olympics. What I was told is it was basicall a mylar coating that was placed on the vehicles and started to peel off during the ceremonies. I could be mistaked though.

Chromed bodies are awesome!! I've always though that would be the coolest 'paint job'. There are some recent high-end European cars that the manf's polished their aluminum bodies and put them on the auto show circuit. I recall Jag being one and I think an Audi or two and maybe even a Veyron. They now have a chrome paint process that actually does look like real chrome. Pretty good breakthrough in my opinion.
Anybody remember a cheezy TV show back in the early 80's with the same red-headed lady that was the Sargeant in the Private Benjamin movie? She was a sheriff and had a chrome-plated Caprice cop car and everything on her that was metal was chromed.
