Black Chrome

stuey:
I know Ive posted this before this is my night burner I had the black chrome re-popped at Aerocoat (www.aerocoat.net) if thats helpful.

Superkav:
The pictures don't do it justice but I have seen a sample chromed pole with the black laquer over the top....stunning. I'm sure your DB will appreciate a new coat.

if you contact the company they can send you a sample on a 3"x3" piece of aluminium so you can get an idea of how it looks in the flesh.

FuNMoNsTeR:
Cool m8... thanks for the heads up i will contact them ;)   Can you PM me what it cost you?.
 With regards to coated frames. I used nitromors on the Proclass last night and although there is a very thin laquer layer the chrome underneath it is definately smoke chrome/black chrome.

FuNMoNsTeR:
I am not saying you are wrong m8... I am telling you what is on my f+f.. I have had a Leary Turbo and its original finish was exactly how you described the Pro Class finish... show chrome with a layer of tinted laquer. I nitromorsed the Turbo and was left with a show chrome bike.
 My Pro Class has a light laquer layer... when i nitromorsed a patch of this off there was no real colour change... under the laquer was fresh shiny smoke/black chrome. Removing the laquer just removed the Dullness..... the patches where the smoke chrome has faded/worn is just Nickel plate which is mostly apparent on the forks.

Superkav:
I'm pretty sure Stuey had his Burner either chromed first or coated with a powder chrome finish before the black laquer went on as I'm pretty sure the chrome needs to be a very good finish before the laquer is applied. Just mentioning that as he might not have a separate price for the laquer....or maybe he will and I'll just shut my big mouth.
