its known as bastardising the chrome.... ??? ???

I had a Hatta MX2 chrome headset black chromed. It was a special process and the guy was able to do it because he still had some of the chrome mix left from another job.

It's quite pricey - he told me it wasn't great for anything but a show bike as the black chrome isn't as protective as normal chrome.

However, it looks superb. Kind of has a purple tinge to it under certain lights and looks nothing like paint/powder. Also, it won't chip and I found it a very durable finish.
