Get your frame chromed and get it blown over with some glass paint stylee spray.
Stidds had it right all along with his Pro Class.

Thank you very much :daumenhoch:, glad to see somebody is paying attention, although the way I did mine was not a glass paint spray but a tinted lacquer, just like Sawzall is looking into. The lacquer I used has a brown tint in it just like the original Pro Class. It looks as though I am years ahead of everyone when it comes to colour restoring!! :LolLolLolLol:
If you look carefully at the picture of my Pro Class, you can see the brown tint (you can see it best on the down tube, with the Pro Class decal on).

Stidds I think you are poss spot on but I thought having rad through a number of the posts that it is not as durable as the orig stuff hence the seaqrch, but I do agree firstly it does look cool secondly I may have to go down that route, where did you get the lacour from anyhoow is it in a can or liquid format and need a sprayer to do and dry it out ? PM me with details if you would not mind

I am off to my powder coaters during the week to get a profile cruiser coated black. The last time i was down there was just before xmas and he had a candy black coating in which looked very like the leary black but with no hint of brown in it.
Im getting the cruiser done in this colour so will post a pick as I think it will be as close as you will get to black chrome.
lazychubs:
db's have a hint of blue
mongoose is brown
and let us know of the out come
gavking:
yeah ya right about the hints of brown and blue!! I had a cw cruiser done in the purple candy in about 1994 and it looked like it was candy over chrome so the black should look realy good. Only prob is the powder coating bloke is bit hit and miss.
One frame could look the dogs nads and another as rough as a badgers arse.
He has nackered a few scooter bits before being too ruff with the blaster so you have to tell him its for a show bike or he just doesnt take care.
I will get it back in a week so will pu it on the site.
