Does the candy powder adhere to the chrome as well as it does on top of the silver powder? If the powder base/candy top coat is more durable than chrome/candy and less likely to chip off I would go with that and save yourself throwing another £160 at a kids bike. :crazy2:

I was gonna go the exact same route as you with my DP - chrome powder with candy red over - but I was gonna use this candy...

Once I saw Juans GJS freestyler in the Old School mag I was smitten... thats got the candy over a beautiful chrome job and it is one of the sexiest finishes I have ever seen... ( will try and find an online pic ) but if you do the candy over the chrome powder it won't be as lush. I could no way afford to chrome it then powder it so I took a different route.
But everytime I see that GJS I fall in love again :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
ED209:
Found it on Rewind - chrome powder then candy lacquer woudl look real good... but not as totally lush as this...
Jamroll:
Ed,
Its that fooking article of Juans GJS that has got me thinking about this :2gunsfiring_v1:
That bike looks so fookin lush, I rekon the backdrop to the photos has a little to do with it but the finish to the frame is unbelievable :daumenhoch:
