OK,
I Have a dilema  :-\ I got a lovely CW Cali which I'm about to get powdered in this:

http://www.roseyspowdercoating.com/candy-transparent/candy-wine-100-gloss-1-lb.html

The frame and bars I've stripped back to bare matel, so is now in an ideal condition to have chromed.
I spoke with Dan about laying the Candy Wine Red over the chrome to get proper bling bling and keeping the bars chromed, but I'm really having a problem justifying the cost of chroming the frame just to powder over the top. I know the finish if I went this would be just supurb, and Dan says that the finish with his Chrome Silver powder underneath would be good, but with the chome underneath the colour would be deeper.

You thing its worth spending £160 + on getting the frame chromed  :-\

Wot would you lot do  ???

To be honest if I was having it Chromed it would stay Chromed.  So for me it would be powder or Chrome not both :daumenhoch:

Jamroll:

Brett, I've got to be honest I'm leaning the same way as you, but then Dan puts up this thread with an image of some green rims near the bottom of the page with have are Candy Green over chrome .....gets me thinkin again  :smitten:

The wheels do look sweet but I don't think they would look much different on bare metal and Dans Chrome Silver powder underneath. 

I think only you will know what you will be happy with.

I like perfection but would be going for the perfect Chrome and leaving it there.

If you can warrant the extra cost then go for it but personally I would either Chrome or Powder not both.

pickle:
just get it powdered.......crazy paying all that for chrome to then cover it, just my oppinion though of course  :daumenhoch:
