Does anyone know where I can get black chroming or powder coating that looks similar done? Need a Mongoose Pro Class and Harry Leary Turbo doing.

I have a thread in tech and resto called 'SUPER TUFF BURNER GOLD?'.there is a phone number for Mark at Impreziv finishing.He does it.It is a translucent powder coat over chrome.you will need to get it back to chrome first before you send it.Hope this helps :daumenhoch:

Mongoose is going to need a new new coat of nickel first, thanks.

Is'nt the HLT more a blue black than just a black chrome though...There was a member on here a good while ago that had managed to replicate the finish but he's not around now.

The HLT is definitely a blue/black and the Pro-Class is a brown/black finish.
I replicated the Pro-Class finish a long time ago, using tinted clearcoat from a local car paint dealers. The original Pro-Class frames were tinted clearcoat over chrome.

Do you have any photos or a link to photos of the bikes finish?

Looks sweet Stidds, was it a rattle can of tinted clear coat or did you have it mixed up by a paint shop?

I had it mixed up by a paint shop, I went in and basically messed around until the shade I wanted was produced.

As stated at the beginning of this thread, Mark at Imprezive finishes in Darlimgton did both my ProClass f&f's and the colour was bang on. He does all the Burnerworld forum lads gold and smoke chrome finishes so has been doing it a while now. If you look in me and my bikes under my name both my ProClass bikes are in there.
