ModelT should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Michael Shanks car colors

I have thought of late, how striking the paintwork on the MSR cars are, cool colors!

Is it vinyl or actual paint, especially the colored chrome look?

Any ideas people?

Anything chrome is a vinyl wrap.

I believe the aero paint that shank uses is a non-vinyl wrap, but proper chrome paint is available http://www.alsacorp.com/products/mirrachrome/mirrachrome.htm
and others do it

FormulaFox is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
One thing Shank has always done well, even in his team's darkest days, was put good paintjobs on his cars.

FLGTFAN has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
It's one of the bright spots during two years of waiting for the next coming.

Regardless of series, a lack of sponsorship tends to result in good looking cars.

I spoke to the team at Long Beach about their schemes, and the car apparently just shows up in whatever color Mike likes best that weekend, which also seems to imply a wrap, rather than paint.

It also implies there is no "lack of sponsorship" with Team Shanks, as changing the color scheme, paint or wrap, costs a bit of money
