I already said this a while ago...the Pro Class was proper electroplated Black Chrome... not painted or laquered... No one believed me ;D ::)
I have a mag article that says they where lacquerd.Maybe the earlier ones where lacquered and the later ones Electroplated.Anyone got an original to see?
I take it you had no Joy with the wheel refurbishers then :( Isn't there a guy on here that does chrome finishes? Chrome UK or something... ?
Maybe he does Black Chrome ???

Funny enough , got an email last week saying Fit have brought out a Smoke chrome frame

So Chromers can do it . and black chrome too :smitten:
A guy on Burnerworld called FHMreader used to do a translucent black powder coat for their Night Burner resto's and has done a number of Pro class too .
Not smoke chrome I know but it was a decent looking substitute
Spen's old rememeber , Daz :)
But it wasn't any good to do a true replica of the Harry leary colour , because it wasn't dark enough and no tint of blue .
About 4 years ago I asked the same guy to redo my HLT colour ,,,,,he said he'd try and do a translucent black over blue,,,,,it was an expensive mistake :crazy2:
So I got N2cus on the job , turned out :4_17_5:

Wow. Old thread or what!
Mark at Impresive Finishes in Darlington did both my ProClass frames and matched the laquer to a couple of patches left on the original finish. He is a member on here as FHMreader but is hardly on so call him (lost his number so Google him - might be spelt "Imprezive")
He does all the Burner World finishes so is busy but worth waiting for. If you have a look on "me and my bikes" you can see the colour finish on my ProClass's.... Oh, i'm not on about the custom job done on my MiniGoose as Neil N2Cus did that as an experiment and couldn't get the colour right.
If you search under ProClass finish yiu should find my thread from a couple of years ago.
