I have been talking to a powder coater and he says the nearest he can think of for a leary paint job in powder would be either liquid smoke or they do a blackchrome.
Two pics here see what you think I know they arent perfect but wont wear as easily as etching lacquers. I think the first one looks the closest.(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/f322/craze01/liquidsmoke.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/f322/craze01/blackchrome.jpg)

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! the old LEARY smoke chrome nutmeg .This problem is gonna go on and on . Coz everyone,s ( obviously ) wanting a finish thats far more durable than the original nail varnish type of finish ( comes off when you look at it ) .But nigh on impossible to get a place with facilities to do somethin like a bike. :'(
Going off your pics dude doesn,t look like a bad alternative though :daumenhoch:
-
That first one looks noice!!!
DAN, DO YOU HAVE LIQUID SMOKE POWDER?
:LolLolLolLol:

The first one is liquid smoke over achrome powder base. It looked realy good on a piece of metal at the powder coaters so im gonatry it!!! Not on aleary though as I dont have one.

Yo plinky the pics are off the net but the coaters where bettablast in shiremoor who had the sample!
My frame is going over there on thursday to be done So will pm you with pics when i get it back.
A lass I work with reckons victoria coatings will do any colour too as her bro works there and she asked him.
So im gonna ring them in the morning as they are more reliable ( a better finnish from them)

The first one looks ideal for the Rupe and Pro Class bikes but not right for the Leary, it needs a blue tint rather than smoke. Maybe the people who put the smoke together can make up the blue version too!!

Gav,
I'd be careful with Betterblast mate as he wrecked a set of BBS allys I gave him by blasting them too hard, sometimes he's good sometimes he's worse than shit.
Have a word with DIRTBIKER250F he got somebody on Team valley to do his Ripper and was real pleased with it (the owner was a old school mountainbiker)
Best o' luck with it

Yeah he fooked a few lambretta parts of mine and he blasted some beetle bumpers putting holes in them then powder coated them with the holes in and tried to charge george for the finnished piece of scrap!!! Dont think he cares much!!!!

Just thought I'd post this pic up of a paint demo. It's done by a guy I know down here in Aust. Looks pretty good to me. It's called black chrome.
