They were a ball burnished style finish, have a look at Meticulus recent Ripper build here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=133352.0

No shiney shiney finish there ;)

Ball burnishing an item frame sized is difficult as no one has the equipment to do it. tanks are all too small ( all that i have found ) so no real way of doing it propoerly tbo
