Smoke/Black Chrome

<< < (4/5) > >>

generallee:
The Deomoition rims I use on my new school bike are smoke chrome, or black chrome as demolition call it. They are definately black chrome, not a laquer over the chrome as I run two brakes and there is no sign of a laquer rubbing off after two years of use.
SO I think the answer is you can have a black chrome job done, but not many do it as it expensive [demoliton have stopped doing it]
or yo can clear laquer over real chrome - and for a frame Id do the latter as itll look the same!

Yep, Mark (FHMreader) did both of my Pro-Classes late last year and the coplour match is awesome. It is only a laquer over chrome finish to look right but it's pretty tough as I ride the black one all the time now and will be racing it in the OS at MK this year. The blue one is a different story and will be ready for show'n'shine at MK with a bit of luck.....

Mark owns Impreziv Finishes in Darlington and posts on here now and then - drop him a line :daumenhoch:

Cheers Spen.  Those look quality and exactly what I'm looking for.

Sounds like the first thing I need to do is get my frame chromed, or does Mark/FHM do the chroming as well?
