Powder over chrome - RESULTS!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Deano:
I had a big dent in a frame i was getting coated. So i used quick steel (epoxy?) and it held under the powder fine. Did swel a little or i never sanded it enough but its better than a hole /dent imo.

Will ruine the chrome tho id guess.

neiljonarcus:

wildon:
OK ... didnt get the dent and the holes in fork drop outs filled as wanted to leave the mint OG chrome untouched.  The guy at the powerders said it wont be as durable as there aint no key for the powder but it wont be ridden anyway.  I recon it turned out mint!  ;D

Swivel:
MMMMMMMMMM yum yum, that looks lovely mate  :4_17_5:

that does have a nice finish, and you could easily return it to chrome if you fancy a change, just dont tighten the wheel nuts up tight.... and get the headset and BB pressed in, rather than whacked in, i would personally sand the edge were the cups go in so the cups dont touch the powder, or you risk chipping the edge off, another tip, when you sand dont go 'in and out' of the tube with your sand paper, sand around the edge carefully to prevent lifting off the powder.... ;)
