Leave it chrome Ric.... the chrome is OG - anything you put on top of it won't be  ;)

Looks mint  :daumenhoch:

Not sure that makes any sense at all  :LolLolLolLol:

Wasn't the og finish a tinted laquer?  The BMX Action review only refers to it as Black Chrome but that's a chemical process so wouldn't scratch off leaving chrome it would take it back to the nickel layer.  What would be wrong with restoring it to the og finish?  Did  they come in just plain chrome from the factory?

Yes, and that's what I'm saying about an OG finish  ;)

I have a similar thing with my moose - the candy is fooked but the chrome underneath is mint and the moose came in chrome. So next year I'll strip the candy off and have a mint OG chrome finish (OG as in originally chromed by mongoose) which I believe is far better than finishing it in a re-coat.

If the chrome is fooked then yeah re-finish but that looks too nice a chrome finish to me and since the pro-class came in chrome why not leave it ;)
