also, paint like “mira-chrome” or the like i believe are illegal in certain states. as for which states, im not positive, but being NY sucks like that, it prolly is illegal here.

ps - Nappy, can you elaborate on that? i was pulled over recently because “my car is registered as a cav, and it doesnt look like any cav the cop has seen”. but no tickets, or threats of tickets. i think he was just curious

The cop was just being a prick and trying to give you a hard time. Odds are he didn’t want to see your car, he wanted to see if there was anything in your car/on your car that he could get you on. I don’t know the extent of the convo between you and the officer but that would be my guess.

but what about the hondas with the white and black “panda” scheme? isnt that the same as a white & black interceptor?

Section 375 Sub Section 21 in NYS V&TL touches on specifics about bus colors. Apparently there are nationally recognized colors that can not be used on a vehicle but haven’t located a full list yet.
