Lovely. Please share who is doing the rechrome, your experiences and the prep you put in. Please, do not just say 'going for a rechrome' an 'out of my hat' a rechromed frame appears. Make it a thread. Hanging for involvement.

Very nice Carlos.

You dont fook about do you Carlos :D ;D
Going to be a stunner mate 8)
-
Right. I’m stilll running with the NOS comp 2’s .
What do you think . [attachment=1]
-
Hell fire Carl, you ain't fooked about with this.
Looks spot on mate, a nice splash of red on the hubs and rim tape.
-
Looking real nice that Carl. :daumenhoch:
-
red brake would go well on that explosion
-
Yep . Red MX1000 Nick .
It’s always difficult using coloured tyres on a race bike. I’ve never been a massive fan myself . Just had to use the comp 2’s :smitten:
keeping the stem and seat clamp silver dropping a bit of colour i think it’s worked . :daumenhoch:
-
I had used red vinyl for the rim tape . Wasn’t happy with it :( it’s too red and doesn’t match the anodised hubs .
The OG tape is metallic so we printed red over chrome vinyl . Came out really well . [attachment=1]
-
[attachment=2]Amazing the difference the printed red on chrome looks over flat vinyl .
It looks like the OG tape :)
-
Wanted a chrome Robinson pro for a while now ..
And she’s finished :smitten:
When it stops snowing , I’ll take her outside :daumenhoch:
