Actually, believe it or not, that's paint! Apparently the prep job is

Actually, that's an A8 - the body panels are all aluminium. They are
polished and lacquered. The plastic bits (bumpers etc. are painted to
match.

Peter,
Oversight on my part about the polished ASF (it was coated to keep the
mirror shine, though). From MTM's web site:
In Dubai the mtm Audi A8 polished was the eye-catcher. The car was analyzed
and in many studies the enamel varnish of the aluminum car body was removed.
Furthermore the car was cleaned. After that, the car body was polished with
fine abrasive paper as well as special polishes to high gloss. The blank
dress must not have any defects, because of the fact that retouching was not
possible. Finally the car was protected with special clear varnish against
environmental impacts.

Because of the fact that it is impossible to polish plastic parts like front
and rear spoilers, mirror house, side sillboard or also fuel tank cap, they
were enameled in a complex way to get a chrome effect. Finaly they were
polished with clear varnish.
Yep, according to the folks at Audiworld it costs around $40k for that
treatment. I'm happy spending less than 1/40th of that on the new paint on
my 5ktq.
Cheers!
