black chrome? help

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mattdub:
Where Stuey got his done there was 2 options (different processes & slightly different results I believe) , he took the browner more Burner option .

Guy (gmac) had some pipes on his LC done , they are black chrome (not brownish) .

billstup:
I think Scary Leary done this too, but he just sprayed over chrome with a tinted laquer and it came out looking just as good, perhaps he will see  this thread and let us know  :daumenhoch:

stidds:
I replicated the Mongoose Pro Class 'black chrome' finish by going to a local car spray paint manufacturer and asking for a tinted lacquer (brown tint).  I did a lot of research into the Pro Class finish and Mongoose never actually chemically 'black chormed' the Pro Class frame, they used a tinted lacquer.

I applied 8 light coats of the tinted lacquer until I had the desired finish.

Bob_Acid:
From a can, Sean?

stidds:
yep from a can Bob, came out very well.
