Superbikedan has done several chrome/powder jobs for me and they have all been excellent. So I would give him a call.

If he can't match your colour I would have a white powder base on the chrome, then paint on top of the powder. The paint can be matched perfectly if you give him a colour to go on, like an old painted part.

He recently done these Haro bars using the powder base with paint on top. It obviously costs more. But you certainly get what you pay for. And the paint match was exact against the original paint on my 88 team master.  :daumenhoch:

Sorry Stu but Disagree here mate, That CW of mine is Chrome with the Candy Powder applied over the top and that has definatley not been keyed, had a big fall on her on the last ride but the powder was fine with no chips or scratches  :daumenhoch:

OH YES! That off was a class test of the powder over chrome.....  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

MaD-RoK:
Just to add to the debate as well, is Superchrome not just translucent powder over chrome. The chrome isn't keyed when that is done.  ???

Im pretty sure it is too but I could be wrong
