Thanks all for your replies. Well I never knew you could get alloy chromed? I thought it was only steel that you can chrome, possibly thats what the finish is now then? I didnt know you could get chrome powder either? Well I have a few options now, getting it proper chromed could be the way to go....excited now. Cheers all  :daumenhoch:

Yea, its a mountain bike 24" frame and its very thin alloy as it pings when you flick it. I suppose they are just strong in all the right  places  :-\

Like chrome and shiny :-\

He was complaining he'd got it shiny ,,,,but then went duller when it was clear laquered ,,rather than maintaining a permanent shine  :-\

Sorry Christian wasn't actually having a go there mate, I wrote it on my way to do something else and didn't word it nicely.

I actually didn't know that you need a clear powder to go over the top of chrome powder, it was something SBD told me recently.
