Its easy to do its a Smoke laquer over chrome hense most pro class has flaking, i've done a few easyest way it get it chromed then buy yourself a tin of window tint spray and spray the frame then i use 2pk laquer over the top as long as your good at spraying it comes out minty. :daumenhoch:

Bitd there were a few different "Black Chrome" finishes/processes .

The HL Turbo ( slight blue tint ? ) was the worst for coming off if sneezed on , the Pro Class was darker , the Night Burner more brownish .

I've a Vector MKII Black Chrome Ltd Ed and it's a different process from others , very black and much harder wearing . It looks to possibly be a layer of something over Nickel maybe , it did'nt go on very well between the twin downtubes near the headtube where it is lacking .

pm voris I am sure he will tell you what the finish is matt, may be similar to the GT baking Process?

I'm guessing it probably is , I did get close a couple of years ago to getting the contact details for the owner of Vector bitd but that kinda fizzled out  ::) .

Voris Dixon's email addy is up on one of the other forums (Can't remember which :( )  He is super friendly and will help if he can I'm sure ;)
