Help with Formula 1/Harry Leary Blue
« on: February 16, 2012, 09:56 PM »
Guys need a lil help has anyone done thier own smoking on chrome parts for a Diamondback Formula 1?
Just picked up a nice lil project but all the parts that are coloured blue over chrome need a refurb so hows it done? Also the smoked 890 brake and tech 3 lever was missing so i was hoping to smoke a silver one, any help with this to would be great  :daumenhoch:

I've read Diamond back  didn't produce the Formula one in Smoked chrome , only standard chrome

Koisumi only made their Prototype for the   Formula 1  in smoked turbo finish apparently

The finish on yours won't be a factory original  , so no worries about having to reproduce it  :)

Fella not the frame need a back dia compe 890 and tech 3 smoked  :daumenhoch:
Also  the blue parts headset like the headset could do with a blue coat again on the chrome.
Spokes and nipples have had it to, managed to get some asahi spokes but i dont suppose ill have any chance of getting the blue nipples so need to have a go at them to.
Anyone got any idea of how to do this?

This is what i picked up :)
