It got it’s start as a humble brag/flex with exotic imports. ie: “I’m Soooo fuckin’ rich, Ima drive this heah car which cost more than yo house, an I’m gonna do it sportin’ Primer, so I can blend in with the poors..... Tastefully understated.
Now, we see it on Hyundais, so it’s come full circle: Poor people pretending to be rich people pretending to be poor people. It’s the Ripped-Bleached Jeans of the automotive world. The dumbest trend since “murdered out” or “Forced Patina”. It’s gonna age poorly. Looks OK on some Jeep/Tacomas though. |

Some of the earliest metallic paints used fish scales. Don't ask how I remember that. I'm full of useless knowledge. |
