Is this a custom paint job? Looks like a mirror blue!
A friend sent me this pic from california. Not a big fan of this... I just had to share to see other peoples reaction. I'm not sure if this is a custom paint job or just a bad picture.....

It's either photoshopped or a wrap. If it looks like that in person it's a wrap for sure. Not something I'd do, but to each their own.

It's badly aliased and the color is saturated.
The same defects show on the other cars and even clothes. See pic below.
Sorry, looks like photographic trickery to me (not to mention is has been MAJORLY enlarged from a lower resolution pic)

I'm going with it's a wrap too.
Rear side window has a logo on it, in the same color. Prob. the company that wrapped it. The retainer also is the same color.

I say it's either a bad photo or Photoshop because the SRX in the background also has an unnatural blue color. Cadillac does not make the SRX in that color of blue.

It appears a transparent chrome wrap was applied. The other cars look normal. Also in the 1st frame you can see the wheels were done as well inside the spokes.

Here's one with the blue chrome wrap.
