black chrome

<< < (2/2)

Spen69:
Mark (FHMreader) and Neil (N2CUS) had a sort of laquer that got sprayed over polished chrome. Mark had the colour spot on, and Neil put his custom touch to it.

FHMreader is an exact match and is almost brown in the light :daumenhoch:



N2Cus has a sort of grey / green hue to it :daumenhoch:



I think the chrome was actually tinted when it was laid originally though, but they'll be plenty on here who can confirm that :coolsmiley:

I think when n2cus did that pro class it was just black paint. The frame had been blasted 1st and was free of chrome altogether.
The paint effect he researched for ages to go over chrome was for the harry leary turbo.
FHM seems have got close for Pro class and n2cus close for the HLT.
FHM also did a black chrome finish which was darker than his pro class one, it was for the CW phase 1 that db250 did a couple of year ago. That looked lush too. 8)

Yep, Neil did a black ProClass as it was my old one before I bought the one in the photo above off DB250 and he wanted to do something custom :coolsmiley:

Mark FHMReader does a load of work for Burnerworld and they all use him for tier Night Burners and Super Tuff Burners, so he's got this colouring over chrome pretty nailed - the custom Job Neil did for my daughter's Mingoose (the Mini-Class!) was an experiment and looks fookin' awesome, so I kept it that colour. Mind you, the chrome underneath has to be pretty good from memory. :daumenhoch:

Yup the interview with geoff barraclough of gbgt states that the GT process was to reverse the electric flow through the chrome...
