If you could find somewhere I'm guessing it would cost a bomb! It'll be clear or powdered but not sure yet.

never going anywhere this one.........always loved candy red but its not exactly a standard mongoose colour. Not a fan of the blue $:-\$

candy red was used on the team mongoose and the moosegoose rob

It works out about the same price as chrome plating

john will be able to give you more details but i pretty sure the original was a candy coat over chrome but i think Dan can replicate it quite well in powder or paint (you would need to check with him) but me and him have talked about it in the past

Chrome.

Nobody does chrome bikes anymore.

fugazi · « **Reply #39 on:** November 10, 2011, 12:30 PM »

Red like those bars I had off You

Red for me but i think it would look the dogs in either red or blue tbh.
I saw these when they 1st came out, really liked them but never ended up seeing one built and was bursting to see one.
Really, really looking forward to seeing how you get on with this if the last one's anything to go by.
