[dwain dibbly]

[oldschoolace]

Is this for real? It looks like he is rinsing black paint of a chrome helmet with solvents??? 

[dwain dibbly]

its legit mate, ive seen done in the flesh. i went to SEMA car show in vegas this year and they were demo'ing it. but
not sure if anyone over here is doing it or how resistant it is to knocks and scratches??

I saw this a few months ago on youtube.....looks awesome! There is an american website where you can buy all the kit to do it. Unfortunately there are downsides.....

Its massively expensive and they wont ship it to other countries due to restrictions and safety for transit.

Can this stuff be applied to metal?  Ive only ever seen it applied to plastics?

from what i gather it can be applied to most things. I've seen it done on shoes,wood,glass,metal and even a plastic water
bottle that was crushed up and put back into shape to show how flexible it was!!

well i think it's clear coated after so that's the protection, i've looked into setting this up myself but just not

ready to invest the time and money yet but it is something i would get a lot of pleasure doing

That Beat was a bike that took part in a Streetbeat build-off in the States several years ago.  Have a look at this link, to see the rest of the bikes.

Sorry for the hijack but this is pretty cool IMO.   

[GavinDavis]

Absolutely stunning!!

Really    i think that beat looks fooking horrible, but each to their own

Its just really different I guess, I love its futuristic look.....almost looks like the terminator should be on it

Pretty simple process lads

The surface has an undercoat/prep on it first and then the chrome look is applied.

It is a water based product that is flexible so thats why you can coat plastic and it does not crack when you bend it.

The final coat is a 2pac clear for UV and damage protection.

It looks the real deal

Just because it doesn't have twin-pinchers fitted, doesn't mean it is rubbish.   

To be fair, I only put the pic up so Leehunt's fantasy of chrome tuffs could be realised.

got nothing to do with the cranks, more to do with the horrific colour and those awful wheels
