Smoked pain ?

theRuler:
if i had a diamond back frame i would have a go at doing it myself.

Jazzchimp:
I mean Paint

digitaltransfer:
OK like many others I bought a DB Turbo lite with the View to doing it up but asking around no one seems to know a company that can do !! there is lots of talk about Electro plating etc.. and types of paint and smoke chrome lacour etc...

pros and cons to most of them lacour peels off quite easy, Paint never gonna get the right effect

However......

How ever I think I have found a solution

the Black Nickel is an Electrolytic colouring process which gives it a BLuish Black Chrome finish I am gonna speak to this lot first thing on Monday to see how I get on this bunch do all sorts so I think they would have no probs doing a F&F

I have a meeting in Watford on Wednesday so I will take the F&F to them see what they got to say !!

I will post a review once I have spoken to them, if they are any good I will let you know and tell them should it go OK to expect a few more calls from here !

Ta for now  :LolLolLolLol:

Moose:
Firstly, I've never seen such a clean platers workshop before  :shocked:

Secondly, I guess this is the finish you're talking about - look at the black nickle trumpet, it's a thing of beauty  :smitten:
