Timmo , listen to Pete ( Quadrophenia ) ^^^^^^ because he has the OG finish parts . He's ya man to work with initially . There were a number of "Black Chrome" finishes from bitd but most if not all were completely different in process and appearance .

DB Harry Leary Turbo - kinda bluey tint .
Mongoose Pro Class - more grey/bronzy .
Vector MKII - I've an OG one , nowt like those above  ;D . 

neiljonarcus:
have a look at the head set that,s on the harry leary i have just done thats black chrome looking . if that,s the effect you are looking for  :daumenhoch:






hope this pic helps

gavking:
If i remember rightly the gt black chrome was a process of the standard chrome being subject to very high voltages therefore turning the chrome black.
It was very hard wearing due to it still being chrome.

So the black chrome you will be looking for will be very dark compared to the rest!!
I think im right but age has kicked in and I also suffer from the aftermath of spending most my youth at raves if you know what I mean.
So I could be talking shite!!!!

QUADROPHENIA:


yep it sounds like shite
