PRO CLASS - Smoke/Black Chrome

(1/14) > >>

Steve P:
I'm having major problems trying to find someone willing to take on my Pro Class F+F and refinish it in black/smoke chrome. I am now thinking about getting it powdered coated black instead, just because it's easier to get done and probably cheaper too. I've also thought about standard chrome but I prefer the original smoke finish

Help me decide . . . will I blitz a nice frameset if I get it powder coated in black  :-\

Cheers

Steve

hold tight fella thers is a way of doing that smoke chrome black stuff   and ive read it and talked to somebody about it but due to chemical abuse i cant remember how its done  :uglystupid2:  but someone will tell you  :LolLolLolLol:  (just not me)  :LolLolLolLol:

so dont get it powdered just yet    :daumenhoch:

Steve P:
I've heard that some powder coaters can achieve similar finishes but my local one frowned when I mentioned it. I've also spoken to several car wheel refurbishers to see if they can get a finish like these wheels on my car . . . they're not interested either >:(

stidds or pk radman are the fellas to talk to about this , lee (radman) , knows a fella who painted two sets of bars for a turbolite i had and a harry leary turbo i still have - and they came out really well -  hope this helps :daumenhoch:

billstup:
I think Stidds done his himself, he just used some smoked lacquer (sp) and spayed it over the chrome, and it looks the bollocks  :daumenhoch:
