For paint on the outside and bare aluminum on the inside, I'll bet that someone here can come up with some photos of such a set up ... the tough part may be selecting a color.  Take a look though the Gallery, might be something there of interest.
If you wind up purchasing a pre owned brushed aluminum car, one thought would be to live with it in it's BNL state and see what you think after a while. You might decide to leave it bare.
If you are considering having a car built, then getting it painted during the build process is the way to go ... less work in the long run.

You call the polished aluminum "interesting", for me it's more "stupid"...
We have to adapt:
- miles per hour in kilometers per hour
- approved bulbes in all the lamps
- emergency light switch (both lights have to be turned on)
- windscreen wiper
- no "new" parts, like blue high tech fittings and so on
- no billet parts
- all original (aircleaner, ignition and so on)
- the fuses have to be at the original spot
- approved tyres (the great looking goodyears are not "good enough" for our streets!!!)
- the list goes on an on
Our main problem is: we have 26 different counties (with a total population of 7 million people
) in every county there is another DMV with another "Chief" with another likes and notlikes. So for tuned Ducatis or Ferraris it might be good here but if he hates US-Cars you are in troubles for ex... not easy here!!
