hi paul so is that a paint laquer over the chrome ,,,,,,,,,,is there a process where the black chrome is applied like normal chrome

[DIRTBIKER250F]

Probably Glen, but i think its just some additive thats added to the chrome before applying, i aint sure on that like. I have had a Proclass and a CW done of Mark and it does look superb

its known as bastardising the chrome....

I had a Hatta MX2 chrome headset black chromed. It was a special process and the guy was able to do it because he still had some of the chrome mix left from another job.

It's quite pricey - he told me it wasn't great for anything but a show bike as the black chrome isn't as protective as normal chrome.

However, it looks superb. Kind of has a purple tinge to it under certain lights and looks nothing like paint/powder. Also, it won't chip and I found it a very durable finish.
