this is the first time i have ever done this paint system and with 20 years experience i have never seen such a stunning finish :shocked:
painted this tonight for rob, rarman1 on here, took a while for him to get the powder but well worth the wait.
this is a two coat powder system, chrome silver first coat then translucent red as the final coat, the finish is like red glass ;)

dan - can that powder red be used over the top of chrome. using the chrome as the base. if it can, expect laz to take a knee in front of you when he sees you
-
nice paint work bro shame to be wasted on that bit of rusty piping
-

;D yes it can mate, chrome or chrome powder, the chrome is what makes the top coat, red, blue or whatever colour
stand out, most frames are not chrome so chrome powder is the next best thing :daumenhoch:
now go and knee laz in the bollocks >:D
-
stunning , it almost looks like an enamel finish that you might find on ornaments /jewelery
-
That looks cool - I'll be in touch soon gents :daumenhoch:
-
That looks the nuts Rob! I know how much you wanted that finish and how hard it was to find the powder. Your patients really paid off!
And another top job Dan!
If only I had something that needed painting!
-
Flippin eck!!! How nice is that? This is the colour i wanted originally, hmmmmm think i might be in touch again soon Dan 8)

yes mate no probs, one thing i do know is that if the chrome has marks that have cut through the chrome
it will show as small black marks when the red goes on :(
i painted a sample first and noticed the marks, then the sample with the chrome powder first was perfect ;)
-
well what can i say....
the finish is just awsome even better than the candy apple red world tour i had BITD, just need some grips and shimano pedals.

Oooh - Err, Grab The Kleenex! :smitten:

You can get pretty much any colour in the translucent range from the US. I've done quite a few lately, especially MTB's and a few for guys on the burner forums. They look awesome,
Same idea as Dirtbiker250f's CW, Stella dave's custom Super Tuff or the standard Super/Super Tuff/Night Burners.
Nice job Dan!!!

Thanks Marty,
PKradman sent me details a while ago, great help. Not had the balls yet to make any moves on the F&F yet and just trying to look at all the options.
